Naturally, the "new approach" is not meant to defy the consistent and efficient methods of the conventional statistical theory;

As the laminar and the turbulent flows play an important role in the processes of evolution in the open systems, and in particular, in the processes of self-organization, the need arises for assessing the relative degree of order of laminar and turbulent motions, and also for comparing the degree of order of various turbulent motions.
