The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Algorithmic independence of initial condition and dynamical law in thermodynamics and causal inference (2015, background): “ation, which immediately introduces also statistical entropy in addition to the algorithmic term {particularly for chaotic systems [26]{ in agreement with standard entropy increase by coarse-graining [27, 28]. Remarkably, however, K(s) can also increase by applying a one-to-one map Don a discrete sp”
Decoherence, the measurement problem, and interpretations of quantum mechanics (2003, background): “Due to the large number of degrees of freedom of the environment, it is usually very difficult to undo systemenvironment entanglement, which has been claimed as a source of our impression of irreversibility in nature (see, for example, Kiefer and Joos, 1999; Zeh, 2001; Zurek, 1982, 2003b; Zurek an”
Bluff Your Way in the Second Law of Thermodynamics (2000, background): “his thermodynamical arrow of time with a mechanical world picture is usually seen as the most profound problem in the foundations of thermal and statistical physics; see Davies (1974), Mackey (1992), Zeh (1992), Sklar (1993) and Price (1996). However, this is only one of many problems awaiting a stu”
