2014-07-23 v1
Abstract
The explanation of the apparent universality of thermodynamics points toward the extension of the usual conceptual background of the second law. Arguments are collected that a basic guiding idea of stability of thermodynamic equilibrium combined with a proper interpretation of the entropy principle may provide the necessary solid foundation with verifiable consequences.
