This qualitatively explains the widespread occurrence of long-range behavior in chaotic dynamics known as [[pink noise|1/f noise]].<ref name =":10"></ref> A more rigorous theoretical explanation of 1/f noise remains an open problem.

=== Pseudo-time reversal symmetry breaking ===
When <math>H_g</math> is complex, [[#Eigensystem of GTO|pseudo-time-reversal symmetry]] is also spontaneously broken. In the context of [[Dynamo theory#Kinematic dynamo theory|kinematic dynamo]], this situation corresponds to rotation of the galactic magnetic field.<ref name=":22">{{Cite journal|last1=Ovchinnikov|first1=I.V.|last2=Ensslin|first2=T.
