We introduce the stochastisation hypothesis which aims to provide a framework to deal with physical systems in random environment. We apply the stochastisation hypothesis in two different cases: in the study of the dynamics of a protoplanetary nebula and in the chaotic long-term behaviour of a generic planetary system using previous works of Albeverio et al. [“A stochastic model for the orbits of planets and satellites: an interpretation of Titius-Bode law,” Expo. Math. 4, 363–373 (1983)], Nottale [“The quantization of the solar system,” Astron. Astrophys. 315, L9 (1996)], and Laskar [“On the spacing of planetary systems,” Phys. Rev. Lett. 84(15), 3240–3243 (2000)10.1103/PhysRevLett.84.3240]. These results give both a particular law for the distribution of planetary orbits.
