But the interaction of such feedback mechanisms on various radial locations would lead to ''avalanche'' behaviour and a true (scale-free) self-organised state.

Indeed, there is direct evidence for avalanching behaviour in numerical simulations, but experimental evidence is scarce.

However, some indirect evidence exists. Typically, such evidence involves the detection of long-range correlations in fluctuations.
