Abstract
Active magnetic stars act as complex Information Processing Systems (IPS) because their dynamics results from a complicated feedback between the magnetic fields and the motion of charged particles. With the aid of a truncated nonlinear model obtained from dynamo theory we can reproduce some rather peculiar features which have been observed particularly for the global activity of our sun.
