the result that long sequences from a stationary ergodic source almost all have probability close to two to the minus n times the entropy rate.

In information theory, asymptotic equipartition property refers to the result that long sequences from a stationary ergodic source almost all have probability close to two to the minus n times the entropy rate. This meaning comes from McMillan (1953) in The Annals of Mathematical Statistics.[1]
