From the dictionary (if possible)?

Ivan Samsonov said:Naturally occurring sporadic casual discharges - even better?
Ivan Samsonov said:That's it then?
It was spelled correctly the first time.Frenemy90210 said:I guess that's it. (Except "Causal" instead of "Casual" ;) ).
Thanks.

Stavros Kiri said:Or "Sporadic Causal Discharges" is a broader or better one?
Ivan Samsonov said:Naturally Occurring Sporadic Causal Discharges - even better?
But are they truly random?
or more, perhaps + combinations etc.Stavros Kiri said:I think they can be divided into categories: random, deterministic or chaotic ...
How about "Causaly and Naturally repeated Sporadic Build-ups & Discharges" ?Frenemy90210 said:What I was looking for is a process in which "slow accumulation of something over a period of time then sudden release of it and the process repeats".
Not all sporadic events have a gradual buildup of the causal elements that lead to outbreak.
Or 'system saturation and discharges' ... (?)Nidum said:Criticality , breakdown and system state bifurcation ?
Not necessarily, so your example of a sociological phenomenon doesn't fit the category you're trying to find a name for. Note that phenomenon is the singular form; phenomena is the plural form.Frenemy90210 said:Edit : Also note that phenomena does not apply to just energy, but also socialogical issues such as sectarian wars between two groups/. ex. Immediately after a war/riot, it is all peace. Then tensions start slowly building up and after some period, there is war once again; and the cycle continues.
IMO, the repetitive cycle doesn't have to go forever. Even a few sporadic ones (cycles) should/could be in the category, I think.Mark44 said:For example, in Europe, starting in the 16th Century there were wars between the Catholics and the newly-formed Protestant offshoot. These wars erupted periodically for several centuries, but then died out.
Not always (read the thread)DaveC426913 said:Doesn't this phenomenon generally fall under the science of chaos?
He needs an outburst etc. (or better a build up and an outburst ... etc., repeating sporadically, for any reason)russ_watters said:Why isn't "cycle" good enough?
