Boltzmann and Gibbs: An attempted reconciliation:

"Statistical mechanics attempts to situate equilibrium at the macroscopic level in the Boltzmann approach and at the statistical level in the Gibbs approach. The aim of this work is to propose a reconciliation between these approaches and to do so we need to reconsider the concept of equilibrium. Our proposal is that the binary property of the system being or not being in equilibrium is replaced by a continuous property of commonness." (Hervorhebung CM)
