Non-autonomous deterministic, non-chaotic systems, whose evolution in time is time-varying, are physically common but not well understood. A key reason for this is the ease with which they can be misidentified.

We will demonstrate that when analysed without taking time into account and with an insufficient number of dimensions, non-autonomous dynamics can appear to be noise-like. This raises the prospect that when analysed appropriately, much of what we currently consider to be noise may in fact be found to be deterministic and non-autonomous, and capable of providing useful information about the system from which it was recorded.

We will present further similarity between these systems in a comparison of the stabilisation dynamics of deterministic non-autonomous and noise-driven models.
