    "abstract": "This paper shows that: (a) given a mechanical system described by a set of\nindependent coordinates in configuration space, (b) given an initial state of\nspecified initial coordinates, and (c) given a situation in which the system\ncan follow any one of a set of different possible paths with a pertinent\nprobability $p_{i}$, then the average path (defined as the weighted average\npositions and corresponding times) will obey Lagranges\u0027 equations iff the\nShannon information defined by the distribution of probabilities is an extreme\n(maximum) compared to any imaginable other distribution. Moreover, the\nresulting action function is proportional to this Shannon information.",
