Quasi-ergodicity

Quasi-ergodicity is an attempt to repair the difficulties with ergodicity by relaxing the assumptions to Almost all trajectories almost return to any point.

This is not interesting for our purpose as it has been proven that quasi-ergodic systems with <A> exist. This obviously ruins any hope that quasi-ergodicity should be the origin of thermodynamic behaviour.
