Henri Poincaré’s trick for seeing motion in four dimensions: don’t watch the whole orbit. Mark a dot each time it passes through one plane. A Poincaré section of the Hénon–Heiles system at E = 1/8: bright islands of regular orbits inside a scattered sea of chaotic ones. Pixel-art unisex hoodie in black; equation, symbols and sources in the physics panel below.

The physics

The Hénon–Heiles potential is a simple model of a star moving in a galaxy. Recording each time an orbit crosses one plane gives a Poincaré section: regular orbits trace smooth closed curves (islands), while chaotic ones scatter points across the 'sea'.

Henri Poincaré’s trick for seeing motion in four dimensions: don’t watch the whole orbit. Mark a dot each time it passes through one plane.

Michel Hénon and Carl Heiles applied it in 1964 to a simple model of a star moving in a galaxy. Every orbit here has the same energy, E = 1/8. Each was integrated numerically and cut at x = 0 going in the same direction.

Regular orbits leave dots on closed curves, the bright nested islands. Chaotic orbits scatter their dots over a region, the dim sea. Both kinds exist side by side at one energy, and an orbit never crosses from one to the other.

Raise the energy and the sea floods most of the islands. At E = 1/8 the islands still hold.
