Randomized trial investigates Boltzmann law's applicability in finite reservoirs, suggesting new thermodynamic implications.

This research aims to clarify when finite counting reaches the canonical Boltzmann distribution while addressing various thermodynamic principles.
Analyzed the relationship between microscopic support, probability premises, and reservoir approximation.
Developed a controlled large-reservoir limit for the Gibbs weight and explored finite-curvature corrections.
Established a theorem connecting count entropy with laboratory entropy through linear mappings.
Demonstrated that the canonical Boltzmann law can be quantitatively assessed for finite reservoirs with explicit corrections.
Showed that every zero-preserving, additive, monotone map from count to laboratory entropy must be linear, with `k_B` being a constant.
Confirmed the role of thermal properties through consistent dependencies across various thermodynamic relations.
