Scientific paper

We propose a new interpretation of objective deterministic chances in statistical physics based on physical computational complexity. This notion applies to a single physical system (be it an experimental set-up in the lab, or a subsystem of the universe), and quantifies (1) the difficulty to realize a physical state given another, (2) the "distance" (in terms of physical resources) of a physical state from another, and (3) the size of the set of time-complexity functions that are compatible with the physical resources required to reach a physical state from another
