Where this comes from

Abstract

A variety of nonequilibrium systems display intermittent switching between semistable macroscopic behaviors. We identify a certain type of indeterminacy, with episodes of patterned behavior irregularly punctuated by transitions. It appears that the long-lived patterns are, not coincidentally, also low-fluctuation states. We describe these linked traits with a small set of examples.
