It is some measure of how important that coordinate's motion is to the future dynamical development of the system. So phase space is the same identical underlying space as state space, just with a different set of coordinates. Any particular state of the system can be completely specified either by giving all the variables \(\begin{equation}

In fact, not long after Planck’s discovery that the black body radiation spectrum could be explained by assuming energy to be exchanged in quanta, Einstein applied the same principle to the simple harmonic oscillator, thereby solving a long-standing puzzle in solid state physics—the mysterious drop in specific heat of all solids at low temperatures.
