What It Is

Classic 2D chaotic map --- the strange attractor has fractal cross-sections and correlation dimension ~1.25, a benchmark for testing dimension estimators

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: left-skewed; anti-correlated (alternating); anti-persistent; blue spectrum (high-frequency power); time-irreversible (slow rise, sharp collapse). The atlas additionally detects deterministic chaos.

What the atlas adds
deterministic chaos+4.7z
positive largest Lyapunov exponent — nearby trajectories diverge exponentially (sensitive dependence)
discrete-map biased — continuous-flow chaos (Lorenz) reads weak; spiky arithmetic sources can false-positive on the finite-time estimate
