Abstract
Interface dynamics governed by punktuated dynamics become self organized critical. In the critical state we observe temporal multiscaling of the interface profile and the activity pattern exhibits non trivial power law correlations in both space and time. This intermittent activity is characterized by avalanches which connect regions of recent local activity. These avalanches display scale invariance. An extension of the presented concepts to evolving strings leads to a new universality class.

The system evolves by locating the overall lowest barrier and updating this and its two nearest neighbours to new random barriers. This dynamics can be justified by exponential separation of timescales associated to an interpretation of the barriers as energies and the driving performed at very low temperature. Power laws will be observed for distances smaller than a correlation length which increases with decreasing temperature.
