Chaos is fascinating. Where a released pendulum will end up around magnets is incredibly complicated. You can explore this in a fantastic interactive visualisation from Ingo Berg. I decided a decision-making app where each magnet represented something you wanted to decide between, would be a fun project. Click the black
