What It Is

Clifford 2D iterated map x_{n+1}=sin(a*y)+c*cos(a*x), y_{n+1}=sin(b*x)+d*cos(b*y) at (a,b,c,d)=(-1.4,1.6,1.0,0.7). Bounded sin/cos-coupled discrete chaos with rich fractal fine structure, distinct from Hénon's quadratic folding. Output: x-coordinate.

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: rich, high-entropy values; anti-correlated (alternating); anti-persistent; blue spectrum (high-frequency power); time-irreversible (slow rise, sharp collapse); high-dimensional / space-filling. The atlas additionally detects discrete-map sensitive dependence.

What the atlas adds
discrete-map sensitive dependence+2.6z
deterministic chaos (positive λ_max, sensitive dependence)
names a discrete-map-scoped estimate, NOT chaos in general — continuous-flow chaos (Lorenz, Rössler) reads weak/neutral here despite being genuinely chaotic; spiky arithmetic sources can false-positive on the finite-time estimate
