The notion of selecting among discrete items at uniform random is among the most reasonable of assumptions of blind selection among items, that each is as likely as the other. In the finite case, this is well known as fair coin tosses or dice rolls, in Bernoulli and to Poisson. In the infinite, the notion of selecting among the natural integers at uniform random would have particular features of the probability mass function describing the distribution of the natural integers at uniform random. The function from natural integers to points in a line called EF has particular features that would make it at once a cumulative distribution function, over its support space of the natural integers, and in its constant monotonicity, over constant differences, that of a uniform distribution.
