I've published more than enough about "uniform probability distribution
on N". In a nutshell: it's trivial for finite serts {0,1,2,3, ... ,n}
that a uniform probability distribution exists. Now replace the finite
set by an unfinished set {0,1,2,3, ... ,n,n+1, .. } and assume no upper
bound for (n) as soon as your calculation is finished. Results are that
e.g. the probability of a natural being divisible by 3 is 1/3 , because
the limit for of the finite set result approaches this value. There is
nothing of a mystery or "undefined" about all this.

Indeed: nothing of a mistery or "undefined" about that: just plain
nonsense.

No. Just plain finitary mathematics.
