Abstract
In Sect. 3.2 we already addressed the subject of fuzzy knowledge from a purely topological point of view. Here, we come back to this idea, but now, we also connect it to the notion of invariant measure. That is, we account (in particular in the natural case of the Physical measure) for how often (or how long) a trajectory stays in a particular region. One can ask how much information this gives us about the long-time dynamics of the system and the variability of the set of orbits. The main difference with the topological entropy is that we are not going to consider all trajectories but only those “typical” for a given measure.
