                         analysis (GPA), for analysing spatially extended dynamics. The 
                         measures obtained from GPA are based on the spatio-temporal 
                         correlations between large and small amplitude fluctuations of the 
                         structure represented as a dynamical gradient pattern. By means of 
                         four gradient moments it is possible to quantify the relative 
                         fluctuations and scaling coherence at a dynamical numerical 
                         lattice and this is a set of proper measures of the pattern 
                         complexity and equilibrium. The GPA technique is applied for the 
                         first time in 3D-simulated molecular chains with the objective of 
                         characterizing small symmetry breaking, amplitude and phase 
                         disorder due to spatio-temporal fluctuations driven by the 
                         spatially extended dynamics of a relaxation regime.",
