Being independent, the tremas are allowed to intersect, and they do so with gusto: the probability of a trema's being intersected by no other trema is zero. In other words, the notions of trema and of gap cease to coincide: the term gap will be reserved for the intervals created by overlapping tremas. 1, record 1, English, - trema

a gap is benceforth denoted as trema. This neologism is being coined from the Greek trema meaning hole, whole distant relative is the Latin term = termite. Tremas do not coincide with gaps in all instances, which is why two different terms are required. 1, record 1, English, - trema

Lorsque D [est plus petit ou égal] et qu'on s'arrête à des trémas de longueur n>0, il est peu probable quoi que ce soit; s'il reste quelque chose, ce sera sans doute un seul petit intervalle [...] Par contre, lorsque 0<D<1, les trémas laissent indéfiniment non couvert un certain ensemble très mince, qui se trouve être précisément une poussière de Lévy de dimension égale à D. 1, record 1, French, - tr%C3%A9ma

A rough analysis reveals the presence of periods during which no error is encountered. Let these remission periods be called "gaps of rank 0" if their duration exceeds one hour. By contrast, any time interval flanked by gaps of rank 0 is singled out as being a "burst of errors of rank 0." As the analysis is made three times more accurate, it reveals that the original burst is itself "intermittent". That is, shorter gaps "of rank 1," lasting 20 minutes or more, separate correspondingly shorter bursts "of rank 1." Likewise, each of the latter contains several gaps "of rank 2," lasting 400 seconds, separating bursts" of rank 2," and so on, each stage being based on gaps and bursts that are three times shorter than the previous ones. 3, record 3, English, - gap

Tout d'abord, on observe des heures au cours desquelles il n'y a aucune erreur. De ce fait, tout intervalle de temps, flanqué de deux intermissions dont la longueur est d'une heure ou plus, fait figure de "rafale d'erreurs", laquelle sera considérée comme étant "d'ordre zéro". Regardons ensuite une telle rafale plus en détail. Nous y verrons plusieurs intermissions de 6 minutes ou plus, séparant des "rafales d'erreurs d'ordre 1". 4, record 3, French, - intermission
