Resumo: In this paper I aim to assess the conceptual and interpretative basis of the ‘infothermal paradox’ underlying informational approaches to thermal physics (particularly the work of Jaynes [1957] and Brillouin [1962]), claiming that information both increases and decreases when observing a system approaching thermal equilibrium. I defend that, even when different concepts and types of information are distinguished, the paradox persist because of a robust connection (epistemic, informational and theoretical) between the information-increasing and the information-decreasing side of this thesis. Finally, I will conclude by arguing that the info-thermal paradox properly manifests deep conceptual-interpretative inconsistencies underlying information-centric thermal physics.

Defiendo que el contenido paradójico de nuestra tesis persiste incluso cuando se distinguen distintos tipos de información, debido a la conexión robusta (epistémica y teórica) entre la parte del incremento y la parte de la disminución informacional de la tesis. Concluiré defendiendo que dicha paradoja muestra las inconsistencias conceptuales de las aproximaciones informacionales de la física térmica.In this paper I aim to assess the conceptual and interpretative basis of the ‘infothermal paradox’ underlying informational approaches to thermal physics (particularly the work of Jaynes [1957] and Brillouin [1962]), claiming that information both increases and decreases when observing a system approaching thermal equilibrium.
