  The colorless objects(s) in diffractive lepton-nucleon scattering in the
small-$x_B$ region can be probed by examing the final state particles in such
processes: (A) Perform multiplicity and/or energy factorial moment analyses,
and check especially the $x_B$- and $Q^2$-dependence of the
intermittency-indices. (B) Examine the diffractive structure function
$F_2^{D(3)}(\beta,Q^2;x_P)$ as function of $x_P$ for different $\beta$ and
$Q^2$. It is shown that such analyses and measurements can yield useful
information on the hadronization process and on the intrinsic properties of the
colorless objects. In particular, the observation of power-law distributions of
$F_2^{D(3)}(\beta,Q^2;x_P)$ with respect to $x_P$ and with respect to $x_B$ ---
independent of $\beta$ and $Q^2$-values may be considered as strong indication
for the existence of self-organized criticality in gluon-cluster formation
processes.
