We show here that a TFL can also be found for Fisher's information measure, following a similar procedure. Further, it is proved that enforcing the Fisher-first law requirements in a process in which the probability distribution is infinitesimally varied is equivalent to minimizing Fisher's information measure subject to appropriate constraints.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-09-28T15:42:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fisher information", "thermodynamics", "minimizing fishers information measure subject", "fisher-first law requirements", "appropriate constraints" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
