Talking about the low-dimensional system: Can I bring the 
work of Glauser and his coworkers to your attention?
In this line of work, they use the Proper Orthogonal
Decomposition idea of Lumley to turbulent flows. 
POD modes are obtained either experimentally or numerically. 
Analysis reveal that it is possible to do a reconstruction
of the flow field using a finite number of POD modes. 
As this can be labelled as the "coherency" (here goes 
another vague term) in the flow field, dynamical 
evolution of these finite number of modes can be 
written an played with. 

Does anyone think this kind of work might provide a 
link between chaos and turbulence (in fluids) ?
