It sounds like log-probability is the manifold surface area.
Distribution of potential over negative potential. Negative potential is the "surface area", and available potential distributes itself "geometrically". All this is iterative obviously, some periodicity set by universal speed limit.
It really doesn't sound like you disagree with me.
Entropy is not a "distribution”, it's a functional that maps a probability distribution to a scalar value, i.e. a single number.
It's the mean log-probability of a distribution.
It's an elementary statistical concept, independent of physical concepts like “pressure”, “potential”, and so on.
