Title: Why do outcomes in a long series of rolls of a symmetric die follow an approximately uniform distribution?
Abstract:
The talk outlines a new answer to this question. The answer is based on 1) the structure of phase space pertaining to a roll of a symmetric die, as described by classical mechanics, 2) the notion that the die roll is not biased in favor any outcome, as a causal condition about the process of selecting a point in phase space, and 3) the Common Cause Principle. Remarkably, however, our answer nowhere refers to the notion of probability.
