Stochastic thermodynamics (ST) summarizes recent advances in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of systems featuring local thermodynamic equilibrium. However, the mathematical description of ST is largely independent of this thermodynamic context. Here, we introduce novel network multibaker maps as a model system for reversible, chaotic dynamics. As a result, the mathematical formalism of ST emerges from information theory, and is shown to be consistent with previous work.
