Information approach, noncanonical equilibrium

In this section we plan to discuss the dynamic versus the thermodynamic approach to noncanonical equilibrium. We plan to show that the thermodynamic method, in the form of an information approach, does not yield satisfactory result. The dynamic approach is more promising than the information approach, even if it involves difficult conceptual problems that have not yet been solved. We argue, however, that the strange response of fluctuations with inverse power law correlation to perturbation, illustrated in Section VII, might turn out to be useful in settling these difficult conceptual problems.
