The "stretch and fold" dynamics of the phase-space representation of a chaotic system (in this case a periodically driven simple pendulum) is always fun to see.
(Made for a lecture, so I am quickly putting it here. Maybe will write a thread about it in the near future.)

@j_bertolotti@mathstodon.xyz LOL, I had no idea that was a common pattern in chaotic systems. Reminds me of the baker’s map, where you don’t even have to go to phase space to see the stretch and fold (or stack).
