Some ideas:
\begin{itemize}
\item What is temperature? Is there a way of turning mechanical energy into a free energy? How do I invoke a heat bath?
%
\item Can I make a partition function (if I have an explicit $V$)?
%
\item Treat as absorbing boundary with drift, like Payam2.3.
%
\item If we can make free energy change zero, then $\langle e^{-\beta W}\rangle = 1$. With dissipative process.
%
\item The JE shouldn't depend on microscopic dynamics of the system, as long as they are microscopically reversible. Can I propose my own dynamics? E.g. the particle goes up or down the potential with some probability.
%
\item Interpretation of the {\it control parameter} $\lambda(t)$ in this context: it is the ``force'' that a particle in a absolute zero vacuum would experience in the potential. Real experiment \ra randomness.
%
\item The work parameter provides the distinction between work and heat flow (at least in Crooks' derivation \cite{http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998JSP....90.1481C}). (See also \citet{http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1999PhRvE..60.2721C} and \citet{http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1999PhDT........37C}.)
%
\item In the derivation of the JE, can we transform $\lambda(t) \ra \lambda(x)$ to make relevance to fixed potential stronger? If so, then smooth $V(x)$ can be steps in $H(t)$.
%
\item For a single particle in a monotonic potential, what counts as a macro/microstate. Is multiplicity always one?
%
\item Free energy is work the can be done. But this is interpretation, not definition.
\end{itemize}
