摘要
It is shown that the Legendre-transform structure of thermodynamics can be replicated without any change if one replaces the entropy S by Fisher's information measure I. Also, the important thermodynamic property of concavity is shown to be obeyed by I. By this use of the Fisher information measure we, develop a thermodynamics that seems to be able to treat equilibrium and nonequilibrium situations in a manner entirely similar to the conventional one.
