depends solely on the local symmetry properties of the correspondent gradient pattern.
For a complex extended pattern (matrix of amplitudes of a spatio-temporal pattern) composed by locally asymmetric fluctuations, <math>G_{A}</math> is nonzero, defining different classes of irregular fluctuation patterns (1/f noise, chaotic, reactive-diffusive, etc.).
 
Besides <math>G_{A}</math> other measurements (called ''gradient moments'') can be calculated from the gradient lattice.<ref name=rosa03>Rosa, R.R.; Campos, M.R.; Ramos, F.M.; Vijaykumar, N.L.; Fujiwara, S.; Sato, T. ''Braz. J. Phys.'' '''33''', 605 (2003).</ref>. Considering the sets of local norms and phases as discrete compact groups, spatially distributed in a square lattice, the gradient moments have the basic property of being globally invariant (for rotation and modulation).
