{{stub-general}}
'''Detailed balance''' (or the principle of microscopic reversibility) expresses the notion that at equilibrium, there are as many processes destroying situation <math>A</math> and creating situation <math>B</math> as there are processes destroying situation <math>B</math> and creating situation <math>A</math> (Ref 1 Appendix VII).
