At the statistical level (in the Gibbs approach), the phase point x � phase point spends more time than in any other macrostate and, if the I have already argued in Section 2.1 that commonness or 'equilibriumness' is a matter of degree, and it is clear that thermodynamic-like behavior can be assessed at an instant of time, whereas thermodynamic-like behavior is a temporally global property assessed over the whole trajectory. .
