In this paper we address the phenomenon we call {open_quote}{open_quote}stochastic localization,{close_quote}{close_quote} within which we include a number of interrelated characteristics exhibited by soft anharmonic oscillators in thermal equilbrium. Principal among these characteristics are a tendency for soft oscillators to spend more time at higher energies than comparable harmonic oscillators, and for high-energy fluctuations in soft oscillators to persist longer than lower-energy fluctuations, leading to a tendency for energy fluctuations to be organized into {open_quote}{open_quote}bursts{close_quote}{close_quote} separated by intervals of relative quiet. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
