This paper is a preliminary exploration of the connections between the statistical style of reasoning and the research practices of statistical mechanics in the early period of the long quantum revolution. It suggests that before 1925 the instantiations of the statistical style in physics went through two phases. The first phase consisted of the formulation of the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics on the basis of the population-gas analogy. The second phase was characterized by the generalization of the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics through analogies between ideal gas molecules and other microphysical entities, analogies that shaped and were shaped by the rise of quantum theory. Einstein's invention of the Bose-Einstein statistics started a third phase and created the conditions of possibility for a new classification of microphysical entities according to their different statistics.

推理的统计风格和玻色-爱因斯坦统计的发明

这篇论文是对长期量子革命初期统计推理方式与统计力学研究实践之间联系的初步探索。它表明，在 1925 年之前，物理学中统计风格的实例化经历了两个阶段。第一阶段包括在人口-气体类比的基础上制定麦克斯韦-玻尔兹曼统计。第二阶段的特点是通过理想气体分子和其他微物理实体之间的类比对麦克斯韦-玻尔兹曼统计的推广，这种类比塑造了量子理论的兴起并由其塑造。爱因斯坦'
