Abstract
In this study we present theoretical concepts and results concerning the hy pothesis test of the magnetospheric chaos. For this reason we compare the o bservational behavior of the magnetospheric system with results obtained by analyzing different types of stochastic and deterministic input-output sys tems. The results of this comparison indicate that the hypothesis of low-di mensional chaos for the magnetospheric dynamics remains a possible and frui tful concept which must be developed further.
