That's a very cool connection I'd never thought of before, that IID random variables correspond to "maximamal local instability". What's this perspective called so I can read more about it for my interest?
- hgibbs 6y agoThe study of dynamical systems from a probabilistic perspective is called ergodic theory. Have a look at my other comment for some specific references for more on this. And yes it is very interesting. One can actually model iid coin flips (or dice rolls) as a type of expanding dynamical system called a full-shift.
