摘要

This paper shows that: (a) given a mechanical system described by a set of independent coordinates in configuration space, (b) given an initial state of specified initial coordinates, and (c) given a situation in which the system can follow any one of a set of different possible paths with a pertinent probability pip_{i}, then the average path (defined as the weighted average positions and corresponding times) will obey Lagranges' equations iff the Shannon information defined by the distribution of probabilities is an extreme (maximum) compared to any imaginable other distribution. Moreover, the resulting action function is proportional to this Shannon information.
