title: Lévy diffusion as an effect of sporadic randomness.
abstract: The Lévy diffusion processes are a form of non-ordinary statistical mechanics resting, however, on the conventional Markov property. As a consequence of this, their dynamic derivation is possible provided that (i) a source of randomness is present in the corresponding microscopic dynamics and (ii) the consequent process of memory erasure is properly taken into account by the theoretical treatment.
