<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thanks for the question, Marcus.
Actually it is part of standard approaches to entropy. A light
search on google will repeat in different terms:<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><span><em>Any increase of entropy is an
increase in the number of degrees of freedom over which the
given energy is distributed</em></span></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><span><em></em></span>My students were
instructed in considering chemical bonds as actual instances
restricting molecular degrees of freedom (easier for understanding
protein folding and enzyme function in relation with entropy
changes in "vicinal water"--part of enzymic "tricks"), etc. etc.
