Abstract
Adopting a bottom-up perspective, we propose a novel two-parametric nonadditive entropy, , associated with a Kappa-type power-law velocity distribution, , recently derived in the literature. By formulating an extended Neo-Boltzmannian microstate counting procedure and employing standard averaging techniques, we demonstrate that the fundamental laws of thermodynamics are preserved within this generalized power-law framework only whether , regardless of the values assumed by the -parameter.
