Operationally, the ensemble average is described by starting an ensemble of trajectories, assuming the ensemble has a density, evolving it for a long time, and averaging the observable across the ensemble.
Conditions: One considers an ensemble of trajectories rather than a single trajectory.; The ensemble is assumed to have a density.; The average of is taken over the ensemble after long-time evolution.
