An example that may be useful to aid in understanding… Casinos are non ergodic.

A million players each placing a single bet will have an expectation of losing the house edge.

A single player placing a million bets has an expectation of $0.

The fact that the aggregate and the single entity Experience different expectations despite both placing a million bets is what makes this ergodic.
