1. Ergodic
   The property of a dynamical system such that all regions of a state space are visited with similar frequency and that all regions will be revisited (within a small proximity) if given enough time.

2. ergodic
   A more precise formulation of the concept of randomness. With an ergodic series of data there is no memory, no correlation with past data, so each new data point adds the same amount of new information.

   <radiobiology> A mathematical term meaning space-filling. If a magnetic field is ergodic, any field line will eventually pass arbitrarily close to any point in space. Closely related to chaotic. ... (09 Oct 1997) ...

7. ergodic
   Informally: a stochastic process is ergodic if no sample helps meaningfully to predict values that are very far away in time from that sample. Another way to say that is that the time path of the stochastic process is not sensitive to initial conditions. Two events A and B (e.g. possible sets of sta...
