Most quantum field theories are not exactly solvable. In this paper show the statistical equivalence of the standard exponential path integral to products of Heaviside functions, i.e. a product of specially tuned uniform distributions. This allows exact integrations of certain quantum field theories. I apply the equivalence to calculate the exact, non-perturbative path integral for a 3+1-D scalar (real) phi-4 field theory.
