"""Return stochastic on-off intermittency, `dx/dt = (epsilon + xi) x - x^3` with Stratonovich white noise `xi`.
The noise has the correlation `<xi(t) xi(t')> = 2 D delta(t - t')`. The variable `y = ln x` diffuses freely while
`x` is small and is pushed back by `-exp(2 y)` once `x` grows, so near the bifurcation `epsilon = 0` the variable
rests close to 0 for long laminar phases, whose durations are distributed as `tau^(-3/2)`, between bursts where
`x` is of order 1. For `epsilon > 0` the power law is cut off beyond durations of order `D / epsilon^2`.
Args:
n_realizations:
The number of independent realizations.
epsilon:
The control parameter, the distance from the bifurcation.
D:
The noise intensity.
x:
The initial value of every realization.
Returns:
system:
The model, with the values `variables.x`.

"""Rate `rate(ns)` and noise `noise(ns) dW` added to the highest time derivative of a state of a target.
On a state of order 1 the rate is its first derivative, and on a state of order `k` it adds to the `k`-th
derivative, so rates on one state superpose. With a divisor `d` the rate and the noise are divided by `d`, the name
of a state or parameter of the target, such as an inertia, a friction, or a capacitance, which backends can read.
A rate, a noise, or a divisor function takes the namespace of the interaction, with the namespaces `target` and
`sources` of the bound elements, the time `t`, and the symbols of the parameters a subclass declares. A number
stands for a constant, and a number on a vector state applies to every component. The noise is a Wiener process per
component and member by default, a process of a `WienerProcessSpec` to share or correlate it across states and
members, or a fractional Brownian motion of a Hurst index.
Args:
label:
The label of the interaction, unique among the parts of its system.
target:
The path of the element or group whose state the rate changes.
state:
The name of the state of the target that the rate changes.
rate:
A function of the namespace that returns the rate, or a number.
sources:
The paths of the elements or groups the rate and the noise read but do not change.
noise:
A function of the namespace that returns the amplitude of the noise, a number, or `None` for no noise.
divisor:
The name of the state or parameter of the target that divides the rate and the noise, a function of the
namespace of the target that returns the divisor, such as a moment of inertia `m l^2`, or `None`.
process:
The Wiener processes that drive the noise, or `None` for one independent process per component and member.
index:
The process of `process` that drives the noise, or `None` for every process, one per component of a vector
state.
convention:
The stochastic calculus of the noise, `'ito'`, `'stratonovich'`, or `'anti-ito'`.
hurst:
The Hurst index in `(0, 1)` of a fractional Brownian motion that drives the noise, a number or a function
of the namespace that returns a parameter, or `None` for a Wiener process.
conserved:
Whether the noise is the divergence of a random flux on the links of the lattice of a field, so it keeps the
total of the state.
Raises:
ValidationError:
The state is not a name, a function is neither callable nor a number, the convention is unknown, the Hurst
index is outside `(0, 1)`, or the noise options cannot combine.
Examples:
>>> from skcomplex.core.elements import CompartmentElement
