Abstract
We choose the classical canonical theory of Liouville because of the best match with the q-theory—a genuine statistical theory. Also this is why we devote the particular Sect. 2.4 to the measurement of the physical quantities. Hence the elements of the present chapter will most faithfully reappear in

Notes
- 1.
The form dρ/dt is used to match the tradition of q-theory notations, c.f. Chap. 4, it stands for \(\partial\rho(x,t)/\partial t\).
- 2.
Note that here and henceforth we use the notion of irreversibility as an equivalent to non-invertibility. We discuss the entropic-informatic notion of irreversibility in Sect. 9.8.
