“…Still, the above-cited paragraph from the work [12] contains some confusion caused by the definition of the "probability of the randomness of individual particles": Its first sentence clearly means that such a probability is equal to nothing else than the • C C quantity, but in all the further sentences the corresponding disjoint event is discussed and then used mathematically. When speaking of and working with thermodynamical parameters like internal energy, entropy and temperature, the advantage of omitting the vague terms like "disorder", "randomness" etc in favour of the microscopic picture of the energy levels and their populations has been thoroughly and persuasively demonstrated [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. In particular, such a stanpoint considers entropy as a number of occupied energy levels in a substance, in the sense of the "storage system for energy": The larger the entropy, the more evenly is the stored energy of the substance distributed over the larger number of the occupied energy levels.…”

“…In particular, such a stanpoint considers entropy as a number of occupied energy levels in a substance, in the sense of the "storage system for energy": The larger the entropy, the more evenly is the stored energy of the substance distributed over the larger number of the occupied energy levels. Taking together the conclusions of the works [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], one can immediately recognize the fundamental relationship between entropy and heat capacity -the change in entropy shows what is changed in the physical-chemical system (the over-all "structure" of energy levels and their occupation), whereas heat capacity explains the modalities of how these changes can be accomplished ("jumps", that is, transitions among the energy levels).…”

“…As can be seen; the dimensions of the physical quantities are simple and explicitly defined. Such system of units solves the conflicts found in the SI system where the units of physical quantities do not correspond to many scientific theories [16,17]. The introduced dimensional system defines a space of three coordinates in which all physical quantities can be represented as points.…”
