Penrose and Entropy



Roger Penrose calculates entropy by the number of photons per baryon.
And whenever I asked a physics graduate student about this, they where
not sure why. I wonder if it makes more sense to calculate entropy by
the number of photons per gluon. Does anybody know why Penrose
calculates entropy by the number of photons per baryon?
