  "account": "The study measured chaos in two ways: via a double pendulum simulator and the logistic map. Both systems displayed exponential divergence from initial nudge differences, with the double pendulum losing synchronization after about 7 seconds while the logistic map became chaotic at a specific growth rate.",
  "summary": "\"Chaotic\" gets thrown around loosely, so I made it a number. The LK Forge physics labs run real integrators in the browser, so I took the exact engines behind two of them — the double pendulum and the bifurcation diagram — and measured how fast order becomes unpredictability. Every number below is computed by a dependency-free script that copies the simulators' own code, so it's fully…",
