30. We have used discrete summation for the momentum to facilitate the evaluation of the (abosolute) c.m entropy instead of the relative entropy if we were to use continuous variable. This enables us to show the consistency of our results with the Araki-Lieb inequality and establish the entropy balance of the subsystems.
