In a previous work, Misra, Prigogine, and Courbage obtained Markov processes with a time-increasing entropy functional from unstable deterministic dynamic systems. Here we study the problem of the loss of information under the transition from the deterministic to the probabilistic one. We show that,
Many properties of glassy polymers undergo significant changes upon annealing 1. These changes which may be reversed with a brief heating to above the glass transition temperature, have,been related to enthalpy and/or free volume relaxation. As both enthalpy and free volume tend either increase or
