  "body": "\n## Summary\n\nIntermittency is a behaviour of dynamical systems in which long phases of nearly regular motion are interrupted at irregular times by short chaotic bursts.\nIt typically appears just past a bifurcation at which a stable [[periodic orbit|0AA97XA70K]] disappears or loses stability.\nPomeau and Manneville classified the common cases into types I, II and III, after the kind of bifurcation involved.\nIntermittency is one of the standard routes from regular motion to chaos, next to period doubling.\n\n## Explanations\n\n### L1 human\n\nPicture a signal that looks almost periodic for a long time, then goes wild for a moment, then calms down again.\nThe calm phases happen because the system passes through a narrow channel near a periodic orbit that has just vanished, and it moves slowly there.\nThe bursts happen when it leaves the channel and wanders chaotically before being reinjected.\nThe closer the parameter is to the bifurcation, the longer the calm phases last.\n",
