Macrostates and their Microstates: What Do These Represent
The experiential world we live in is structured around the micro- and macrostates. They are so tightly entwined and entangled within each other’s spatial-temporal worlds that we may find it difficult to articulate each of these states individually. Moreover, when observations are made at the micro-level, the states (quantum states) will collapse. In addition, we tend to use the language of the macrostate to depict conditions/events at the level of the microstate because we lack the epistemic resources for navigating at this level. Nevertheless, it is important to differentiate between these two states since that can help in understanding how and why certain theories of physics behave the way they do and why certain theories may require further fine-tuning when studied from the specificities of these two states due to issues of contradiction and conflict between the physical laws. In proposing definitions to macro- and microstates, I argue for greater finesse by dividing the defin
