33. 2〉/〈v〉a is a measure for the randomness of the movement. Its value is 1 for a Poisson stepper and 0 for a deterministic process. A two-state model can reach a minimum of r = 0.5. The parameters used above lead to r = 0.62 at zero load, which is not far from the experimental value r = 0.52 ± 0.2 [31,32].
