Explores the identity of photon number in thermal-equilibrium systems, suggesting implications for statistical mechanics.
This paper is a further supplement to the third part of the previous paper, concerning the statistical meaning of photon number in a thermal-equilibrium radiation system. It further points out that, from the perspective of structure ontology, the identity of the photon in statistical mechanics is that of a count.
