Abstract

This is a short note on the spatiotemporal complexity of the dynamical state(s) of the universe at subhorizon scales (up to 300 Mpc). There are reasons, based mainly on infrared radiative divergences, to believe that one can encounter a flicker noise in the time domain, while in the space domain, the scaling laws are reflected in the (multi)fractal distribution of galaxies and their clusters. There exist recent suggestions on a unifying treatment of these two aspects within the concept of spatiotemporal complexity of dynamical systems driven out of equilibrium. Spatiotemporal complexity of the subhorizon dynamical state(s) of the universe is a conceptually nice idea and may lead to progress in our understanding of the material structures at large scales
