Deterministic chaos is cool. But this is even more special in a sense: for a problem where random initial conditions are almost always chaotic, this is a catalog of periodic orbits—these are all non-chaotic.
It would be cool to pair this with a numerical simulator that shows what happens when you perturb any of them.
EDIT: oh, it already does this, thanks other comments
