  We argue that the magnetically closed corona evolves primarily
quasi-statically, punctuated by many localized bursts of activity associated
with magnetic reconnection at a myriad of small current sheets. The sheets form
by various processes that do not involve a traditional turbulent cascade
whereby energy flows losslessly through a continuum of spatial scales starting
from the large scale of the photospheric driving. If such an inertial range is
a defining characteristic of turbulence, then the magnetically closed corona is
not a turbulent system. It nonetheless has a complex structure that bears no
direct relationship to the pattern of driving.
