the Maxwellian demon
Time independence: [∂E(g)]²=[∂F(a)×∂r(a)]·[∂F(b)×∂r(b)] and Mass independence: ¶a(t)·¶r(t)=c²

fair is fair
In classical thermodynamics a fair exchange would imply equal probability for an evolution of two given systems. The final state is chemical equilibrium but not necessarily mechanical equilibrium. Both mass and energy are conserved not destroyed. Originally Posted by mkirkpatrick Time independence: [∂E(g)]²=[∂F(a)×∂r(a)]·[∂F(b)×∂r(b)] and Mass independence: ¶a(t)·¶r(t)=c²

Laplace's demon is for Newtonian mechanics while Maxwell's demon is for heat mechanics or classical thermodynamics. Both are just thought experiments for their respective inventors.
