Abstract
We construct the entropic measure on compact manifolds of any dimension. It is defined as the push forward of the Dirichlet process (another random probability measure, well-known to exist on spaces of any dimension) under the {\em conjugation map} This conjugation map is a continuous involution. It can be regarded as the canonical extension to higher dimensional spaces of a map between probability measures on 1-dimensional spaces characterized by the fact that the distribution functions of and are inverse to each other. We also present an heuristic interpretation of the entropic measure as
