ergodic

ergodic
ergodicity /err'geuh dis"i tee/, n.
/err god"ik/, adj. Math., Statistics.
of or pertaining to the condition that, in an interval of sufficient duration, a system will return to states that are closely similar to previous ones: the assumption of such a condition underlies statistical methods used in modern dynamics and atomic theory.
