It is shown that when viewed properly some concepts in topological dynamics and ergodic theory are not merely analogous but equivalent. Also the Mackey-Halmos-von Neumann theorem on ergodic processes with discrete spectrum is generalized and an account of the Mackey-Zimmer theory of minimal cocycles is given in a more general setting.
