	The Continuous Time Random Walk (CTRW) provides a mathematical framework for the study of transport in heterogenous media. It is much more general than usual transport models based on (local) Ordinary Differential Equations, and in particular can handle transport in systems without characteristic scales (such as systems in a state of [[Self-Organised Criticality]] or SOC).		The Continuous Time Random Walk (CTRW) provides a mathematical framework for the study of transport in heterogenous media. It is much more general than usual transport models based on (local, Markovian) Ordinary Differential Equations, and in particular can handle transport in systems without characteristic scales (such as systems in a state of [[Self-Organised Criticality]] or SOC).
