Tentative statistical interpretation of non-equilibrium entropy

Abstract

We suggest a certain statistical interpretation for the entropy produced in driven thermodynamic processes. The exponential function of half irreversible entropy re-weights the probability of the standard Ornstein-Uhlenbeck-type thermodynamic fluctuations.(We add a proof of the standard Fluctuation Theorem which represents a more natural interpretation.)
