7. A system displaying SOC does not necessarily imply Poissonian waiting-time statistics. For example, the Olami-Feder-Christensen spring block model of earthquakes displays a crossover from Poissonian statistics of the quiescent time when events of all sizes are considered to a power-law-type statistics when considering earthquakes greater than a certain size (Formula presented)
