Kac ring
text:
In statistical mechanics, the Kac ring is a toy model introduced by Mark Kac in 1956 to explain how the second law of thermodynamics emerges from time-symmetric interactions between molecules. Although artificial, the model is notable as a mathematically transparent example of coarse-graining and is used as a didactic tool in non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
