Exactly solvable model illustrating far-from-equilibrium predictions

We describe an exactly solvable model which illustrates the Fluctuation Theorem and other predictions for systems evolving far from equilibrium. Our model describes a particle dragged by a spring through a thermal environment. The rate at which the spring is pulled is arbitrary.
