Stochastic averaging goes back to Khasminskii in the 1960's.  The standard result is that, given a separation of scales, one can find effective dynamics for slow components. We investigate the motion of two particles in such a system, in
particular in a randomly-perturbed twist map.  The nub of the issue is how two points escape from a 1-1 resonance zone.  Results of Pinsky and Wihstutz indicate that there is a third scale at work, which we can use to study the escape from resonance.
