We present a simple model of a dynamical system driven by externally-imposed coherent noise. Although the system never becomes critical in the sense of possessing spatial correlations of arbitrarily long range, it does organize into a stationary state characterized by avalanches with a power-law size distribution. We explain the behavior of the model within a time-averaged approximation, and di...

There are many barriers in the path of Information Technology. The health system relies heavily on the visible print and paper culture, the Gutenberg Culture. Biscoe (1986) states, the key to overcoming this is the recognition that computers merely act as a mechanism for the storage and retrieval of information. Other factors that influence the health system stem from the fear of losing control...

The Gutenberg-Richter power law distribution for energy released at earthquakes can be understood as a consequence of the earth crust being in a self-organized critical state. A simple cellular automaton stick-slip type model yields D(E) • E -• with r = 1.0 and r = 1.35 in two and three dimensions, respectively. The size of earthquakes is unpredictable since the evolution of an earthquake depen...
