Nonlinear pendulum with friction --- transient chaos at high amplitude, decay to limit cycle or fixed point
Standard analysis sees: rich, high-entropy values; smooth / autocorrelated; long-range memory (persistent); strongly periodic; low-complexity (predictable, not noise-like); volatility-clustering (bursty); low-dimensional. The atlas finds no named structure, but the source is distinctively extreme on Chladni:modal_nodal_cascade (-4.5z) — beyond what the standard bank predicts for it. It sits beside Sine Wave in the atlas (standard-bank rank 26) — a neighbor conventional features miss.
