Abstract
This paper proposes a phase rule for non-extensive systems and asserts that the thermodynamic limit commonly used in extensive statistical mechanics is no longer applicable when considering non-extensive quantities. In addition, this paper revises some of the concepts and conclusions arising in extensive statistical mechanics.
