What It Is

Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou anharmonic-spring chain (β-model), N=16 masses, fixed boundaries. Conservative (Hamiltonian) high-DOF chaos --- direct Hamiltonian analogue of Lorenz-96 N=8 (dissipative) at matched dimensionality. Famously fails to thermalize for low amplitudes (FPUT recurrences); above the energy threshold the chain mixes ergodically. Velocity-Verlet integration. Observable: q_{N/2}(t).

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: smooth / autocorrelated; long-range memory (persistent); red spectrum (low-frequency / 1-over-f power); low-complexity (predictable, not noise-like); volatility-clustering (bursty); multifractal. The atlas additionally detects Multifractal Spectrum:hurst_estimate. It sits beside Chua's Circuit in the atlas (standard-bank rank 29) — a neighbor conventional features miss.
