in the given state. For this purpose think of this whole state as represented by the sum total of all these equal elementary regions
; for convenience of reference let us call this whole state the "state-region." The probability that a particular molecule will belong to a particular elementary region is equally great for all the elementary regions. Let
represent the number of these equal elementary regions. Now we will proceed with the help of a parallel case. Let us think of as many dice
as there are molecules and let each die be provided with
faces. On each of these faces we will write in their order the digits 1, 2, 3, ...
