A macroscopic condition specified by a sufficient set of state variables. A thermodynamic state deliberately omits most microscopic coordinates and does not identify a unique microstate.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
A thermodynamic state records the macroscopic condition of a selected system using a sufficient set of state variables while omitting microscopic coordinates.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Equilibrium states are the thermodynamic states with no remaining macroscopic tendency to change under the imposed constraints.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

State variables provide macroscopic coordinates or functions on the equilibrium state space; which variables are independent depends on the system and constraints.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
