Configuration entropy refers to the measure of the number of microstates (specific arrangements) corresponding to a given macrostate (overall state) of a system. In other words, it quantifies the degree of disorder or randomness associated with a particular arrangement of particles in a system. In thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, entropy is often associated with the level of uncertainty or disorder within a system. Specifically, configuration entropy appears in contexts where the arrangement of particles or components influences the system's properties.
