KEY ENTITIES:
Localized excitations = = unconventional forms of lattice dynamics described by
classical degrees of freedom
Complex oxides = = multicomponent perovskites exhibiting slightly different ground states that can easily be converted upon small extrinsic perturbations
Polar nanoregions = = spatial regions that are to small to approach
the thermodynamic phase transition limit and still are large enough for cooperativity
of their atomic displacements. Unique counterpart of relaxor ferroelectrics.

In more realistic models the zone boundary modes becomes essential
Statistical problem is growth/decay of excitations is caused by interaction with phonons
Their distribution over all wavenumbers in the BZ may be captured by Rayleigh-Jeans distribution

CONCLUSIONS
Highly motivated developments are addressed to nonconservative Hamiltonians with applications to field response and time development of PNR and the theory of dipolar glasses
Growth of PNR corresponds to the relaxation toward the state of maximum entropy
Heuristic interpretation of long-living PNR is that they constitute the state of maximum entropy for certain values of (conserved) initial conditions
DNLS representation of effective (phonon) Hamiltonian is promising for PNR in complex oxides
