outburstdriven
Outburstdriven is an adjective used to describe systems, processes, or dynamics in which abrupt, typically energetic events—outbursts—play a central causal or supervisory role. The term emphasizes the primacy of sudden releases of energy, activity, or information in shaping subsequent behavior, structure, or outcomes, rather than gradual, steady change.
In practice, outburstdriven concepts appear across disciplines. In astrophysics, for example, certain variable stars and X-ray
Measurement and modeling typically focus on characteristics of the outbursts themselves, including frequency, amplitude, duration, rise
Limitations include definitional variability and the risk of oversimplification, since many systems experience both gradual trends
