Let 
 be the fraction of time a typical dynamical Orbit spends in the
interval 
, and let 
 be normalized such that
over the entire interval of the map.  Then the fraction the time an Orbit spends in a
finite interval 
, is given by
The natural invariant is also called the Invariant Density or Natural Density.
