The two-dimensional bicoherence graph tends to show mainly two types of structures:
* 'Points': indicating sharply defined, unchanging, locked frequencies (as occurs with a driving mode and a slave mode; energy transfer in a single direction).
* 'Lines': these are more difficult to interpret. It is often stated that 'lines' are due to single mode (frequency) interacting with a broad range of frequencies (e.g., a [[Geodesic Acoustic Mode]] and broad-band turbulence) - but it is not evident that this is the only explanation. Particularly, two interacting oscillators (continuously exchanging energy) ''also'' produce lines in the bicoherence graph.
