Entropy and temperature inherently require the abstraction of macrostates from microstates. Recommend reading this: http://www.av8n.com/physics/thermo/entropy.html if you haven’t seen this before (or just want an unconfused explanation).
At some point I need to write a post on purely Bayesian statistical mechanics, in a general enough form that it’s not tied to the specifics of physics.
I can probably write a not-too-long explanation of how abstraction works in this context. I’ll see what I can do.
