Clearly a French mathematical term (when googled) but what is the English equivalent?

of equal probability
Une loi de probabilité est équirépartie (ou uniforme) si les probabilités de chacune des éventualités sont égales. On dit également que l'on est en situation d'équiprobabilité.

Définition : Deux variables aléatoires sont équiréparties si elles ont même loi de probabilité.

Seems to mean having the same probability - heads or tails? Haven't a clue what it means in your context though.

Comment: "Yes, I think this simple and clear phrasing is the best for my context, and for other contexts too. Thanks to Alain, but also to Susan and Chris for their helpful insights and references."

equirepartition (property)
To get the ball rolling I've found that equirepartition property or asymptotic equirepartition property seems to be used in maths
This reference comes from an Applied Probability Journal
http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0021-9002(200312)40:4<1060:...
The Shannon- McMillan-Breiman theorem (or asymptotic equirepartition property (AEP)) constitutes the analogue of the law of large numbers for information

Googling equirepartition with entropy (since your question seems to have this sort of thermodynamics idea behind it) gives lots of maths papers one if which I've added
http://books.google.fr/books?id=XjPfotVLaGIC&pg=PA166&lpg=PA...
It also appears that entropy, semi Markov processes and equirepartition often appear together. Don't know how or if this fits into your doc?
