摘要：

According to Benford's first digit law, the frequency of appearance of the first digit d taken from various sets of data is log(1+(1/d)) where d = 1, 2, horizontal ellipsis 9. I present a thermodynamic derivation of this law that follows from the unbiased partitioning of a conserved quantity whose pieces may fragment and combine.
