Abstract

In this paper we introduce the inaccessible game, an information-theoretic dynamical system constructed from four axioms. The first three axioms are known and define \emph{information loss} in the system. The fourth is a novel \emph{information isolation} axiom that assumes our system is isolated from observation, making it observer-independent and exchangeable. Under this isolation axiom, total marginal entropy is conserved: ihi=C\sum_i h_i = C. We consider maximum entropy production in the game and show that the dynamics exhibit a GENERIC-like structure combining reversible and irreversible components.
