That is rather intriguing Ron.    Can you feed the McClellan Oscillator into
your Phase Space plot?  From Edgar Peters' Glossary in "Chaos and Order in
the Capital Markets" Strange Attractor is defined as "An attractor in phase
space, where the points never repeat themselves and orbits never interset,
but both stay within the same region of phase space.  Unlike limit cycles or
point attractors, strange attractors are nonperiodic and generally have a
fractal dimension.  They are a configuration of a nonlinear chaotic system."
Not sure that helped me much, I admittedly failed this "inkblot" test, in
jest, but curious and serious about what you are up to.
