Was the equation nonlinear?

Yes, but was it one-dimensional?

Ah-ha! Did you account for its turbulence — of the integrable variety?

Well, then, these guys have plenty to tell you about its early stage:

(Of course, they do have the humility to admit that they’re using a semiclassical approach to statistics.)
