Equidistribution

/ˌɛkwɪdɪstrɪˈbjuːʃən/ noun

Definition

The uniform or equal spreading or allocation of something across a space or population.

Etymology

From Latin 'aequus' (equal) + 'distributio' (distribution). A technical term from mathematics, statistics, and physics describing even spread.

Kelly Says

In quantum mechanics and chaos theory, the equidistribution theorem shows that chaotic systems eventually visit every part of their allowed space equally often—nature naturally spreads things evenly in the long run.
