> Entropy is not a physical quantity, it is a measure of how far a system is from equilibrium.

That’s funny because the original thermodynamic entropy is defined only for systems in equilibrium.

from who? Clausius?

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me because a system at equilibrium, cannot go undergo any further diffusion, so there's no potential "entropy increase"

Maybe the issue, is that, like an ideal gas, a perfect equilibrium just doesn't occur.
