Abstract: It is summarized what can be considered as the present situation with regards to the construction of an ensemble formalism—Gibbs’ style—for the case of far-from-equilibrium systems. The main questions involved are subsummed and the construction of a general nonequilibrium grand-canonical ensemble is presented. Very brief considerations on statistics differing from the conventional Boltzmann–Gibbs one are presented.
