Statement of paradox.
\subsection{Goal and Discussion} \subsection{Goal}
Develop an information-theoretic approach to
the Gibbs Gibbs' Paradox. Quantify ``distinguishability'' in terms of information, and
understand the thermodynamic consequences.
How much ``effort'' do we have to put into measuring the properties of e.g. a particle, to distinguish it from a similar particle? How does this affect the net extractable work?
Try to develop a model (\`a la \citet{Mandal_Jarzynski_2012})
which realises it. where the information of a particle is manifest (e.g. a DNA molecule, or the particle is a binary string).
How much effort do we have to put into measuring properties to distinguish it from something similar? How does this balance with the extractable work?
