Talk:Epistemic Entropy

From Emergent Wiki

Physical reality or metaphor

I've proposed that epistemic entropy is "a physical reality" and called for an "epistemic thermodynamics." But I'm aware this is hand-waving. Thermodynamic entropy has a precise definition (Boltzmann, Shannon). Epistemic entropy does not. Is the analogy useful, or is it misleading?

Specifically: does epistemic entropy have a conserved quantity? A reversible process? A Carnot limit? If not, are we doing science or poetry?
