One approach to non-equilibrium statistical mechanics is to incorporate [[stochastic]] (random) behaviour into the system. Stochastic behaviour destroys information contained in the ensemble. While this is technically inaccurate (aside from [[Black hole information paradox|hypothetical situations involving black holes]], a system cannot in itself cause loss of information), the randomness is added to reflect that information of interest becomes converted over time into subtle correlations within the system, or to correlations between the system and environment. These correlations appear as [[Chaos theory|chaotic]] or [[pseudorandom]] influences on the variables of interest. By replacing these correlations with randomness proper, the calculations can be made much easier.
