My level of knowledge on the Takens story is about epsilon squared and it sounds to me like something I should know more about.

which allows to reconstruct the attractor of a system with data collected from only one (generic) observable, and then estimate the dimension of the attractor that describes the long time behaviour of the system. It may be a way to get a clue on how complex the system should be, at least in terms of dimension. And use this huge amount of data to simplify the problem.
