If ℳ : ⌋ represents the classical measurement of a system for one observable

and ℳ : ⌋ ⌋ for two then ℳ : ⌋ ⌋ over way by either ℳ : ⌋ ⌋ (means
at first & at second) or ℳ : ⌋ ⌋ (means at first & at second),
analogically, corresponds the case of work performed in a conservative field of force
given by eq_n (1). → represents the work done in potential field over path 1 in
between points and . Similarly, the work → . The two paths 1 and 2 are
independent of each other.

ℳ: ⌋ ⌋ −ℳ : ⌋ ⌋ =0 ≡ → − → =0 (1)

Eq_n (1) conservatively over way by either, thermodynamically matches the 2

law of thermodynamics in reversible condition where the entropy is always equal to
the zero. Other than the measurement of system observables (classically), the
measurement ℳ (quantumly) does not hold the same but eq_n (2) as the measurement of
