contents Counting ad infinitum is the holographic observable to a statistical dynamics with finite states under independent repeated sampling. Entropy provides the infinitesimal probability for an observed frequency $\hat{\boldsymbolν}$ w.r.t. a probability prior ${\bf p}$. Following Callen's postulate and through Legendre-Fenchel transform, without help from mechanics, we show an internal energy $\boldsymbolμ$ emerges; it provides a linear representation of real-valued observables with full or partial information. Gibbs' fundamental thermodynamic relation and theory of ensembles follow mathematically. $\boldsymbolμ$ is to $\hat{\boldsymbolν}$ what $ω$ is to $t$ in Fourier analysis.
