Abstract
The balance of energy in Chap. 4 has been heuristically introduced by an analogy to mechanics. We have interpreted work to thermal environments as heat, and energy balance took the form of the first law of thermodynamics. However, it was not clear if the structure of energetics on the scale of fluctuations adapts truly to that of thermodynamics. In this chapter we will scrutinize the work done through the change of the external parameter a.
