ergodic hypothesis

In rare systems, all phases solve energy equation, and system reaches equilibrium {ergodic hypothesis}|. Though few systems are ergodic, real systems come arbitrarily close to ergodic {quasiergodic hypothesis}. Quasiergodic systems are fractal, because one trajectory cannot fill up space but can pass close to all points. If trajectory does not follow simple law, system uses statistical law.
