Entropy, Barbour
Barbour quotes Gibbs as saying that a system of particles dispersing through infinite space cannot attain equilibrium. Yet in many cases, one may argue, the net vector of the particles reaches approx. 0 and stays that way as the particles disperse. For that, we would expect the system to have been "physically connected" when dispersion was initiated.
