We develop an information-theoretic formulation of stochastic dynamics in which the fundamental stochastic variable is the total action connecting spacetime points, rather than individual paths. By maximizing Shannon entropy over a joint…

Conventional Boltzmann--Gibbs statistical mechanics successfully describes systems with weak to moderate correlations, where the number of accessible configurations $W(N)$ grows exponentially with the number of degrees of freedom~$N$.…

We explore a possible application of the additive generalization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy proposed in [A.N. Gorban, I.V. Karlin, Phys. Rev. E, 67:016104 (2003)] to fully developed turbulence. The predicted probability…
