Hard

Very hard to understand.

Importance

Please do not delete this article. It is a very important concept for example in the physics of turbulence. It should be revised however a better explanation is neccesary.

The basic idea is that things are not always self-similar (repeating if you zoom in, like a broccoli or a christmas tree) but only in certain (intermittent) points. A good example is the devil's staircase which is self-similar if you take a stair but not in the region between the stairs (there you just see a flat line if you zoom in). http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~cdm/pics/Devils-staircase.jpg

Watch out for possible WP:COAT, WP:COI, WP:FRINGE vios

Intermittency is indeed a widely discussed phenomenon in chaotic dynamics, but there is another potential problem here: the creator of this article, User:Lakinekaki, IRL Lazar Kovacevic, has been involved in several AfDs:

These involve a fringe theory, bios theory, according to which natural selection is dominated by a murkily defined phenomenon the authors call "bios", a kind of neo-Lamarckian/Chardinian "creative influence". Note that User:Hector Sabelli, IRL Hector C. Sabelli, and Kovacevich have collaborated on several papers on this topic. ---CH (talk) 22:13, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

BTW, regarding the sentence (in the current version of the article), "In the apparently periodic phases the behaviour is not quite, but only nearly periodic", the appropriate technical term is quasiperiodic (or more precisely, almost periodic). See Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Process_equation for some suggested reading which should be very helpful to anyone trying to improve dynamical systems stubs!
