Teuthidic motion

The challenge created by the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and linear response theory is that the modes of motion and mechanisms of dissipation that are driven by the weakest linear perturbations are required to be the same as the modes of motion and mechanisms of dissipation that appear in the corresponding diffusive process(24). If teuthidic motion represents the linear translational response to a weak applied field, then the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and linear response theory guarantee that teuthidic motion must also characterize diffusion of star polymers through a polymer solution matrix.
