From page 151...
... Magnetized plasmas are inherently anisotropic and nonlinear, exhibiting nonlocal behavior, chaotic particle motions, turbulence, and self-organization. The fundamental equation describing the plasma behavior of a many-body system of N charged particles is Liouville's equation for the distribution function in the 6N-dimensional phase space of the system.
