The time average of an observable J along a trajectory u(t) is defined as the limit of the average of J over a finite time window of length T as T approaches infinity. It represents the long-run average behavior of the observable.
Conditions: The system is described by an ODE with trajectory u(t).; J is a function of the state u.; The averaging interval starts at t=0 and has length T.; The limit T→∞ is taken.

Conditions: The system is described by an ODE with trajectory u(t).; J is a function of the state u.; The averaging interval starts at t=0 and has length T.; The limit T→∞ is taken.
The statement says almost everywhere because the equality of the time average and the ensemble average is asserted for all initial conditions except possibly a negligible exceptional set. The clip does not specify the exact nature of this exceptional set.
Conditions: The system is governed by an ODE du/dt=f(u).; J is a function of the state u.; The time average is defined by limT→∞T1∫0TJ(u(t))dt.; The comparison ensemble has a density.

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 J 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 J is taken over the ensemble after long-time evolution.
