Model of optimal variability shows the interaction between predictability and complexity of the temporal structure of a biological time series. A healthy variability is characterized by having a highly complex temporal structure that can be characterized using mathematical chaos. An unhealthy temporal structure can be characterized by a loss of complexity toward a more regular and ordered pattern, or toward a more noisy and unpredictable pattern.
