Wow. This is really cool. Deterministic chaos is my absolute favorite in all the nerdy things there are to like in the abstract world.

Deterministic chaos is cool. But this is even more special in a sense: for a problem where random initial conditions are almost always chaotic, this is a catalog of periodic orbits—these are all non-chaotic.

It would be cool to pair this with a numerical simulator that shows what happens when you perturb any of them.

EDIT: oh, it already does this, thanks other comments
