The issue being, of course, that when we think of predicting the outcome of the chess game based on Elo score, we’re not making any sort of prediction about the very next move (a feat possible only through logical microscience). A similar thing happens with the gas, where the Boltzmann distribution is not a distribution over histories. I don’t think this is a coincidence.
