The Resource Theory of Non-Uniformity
Every resource in thermodynamic has a Hamiltonian associated with it, so I cannot just say a physical system. In quantum mechanics classical systems that we've diagonal density matrices. You can always essentially simulate any classical thermodynamical system with a trivial Hamiltonian. The more different they are from each other, the more resourceful it is and the more work you can extract from it.
