A macroscopic quantity used to specify equilibrium states, such as internal energy, entropy, volume, pressure, particle number, or temperature. State variables may be extensive or intensive and are constrained by equations of state.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
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.
