## Interactive Exploration 🧑‍🔬

Here's what you can do:

- **Play with K**: Start with K = 0.5 and watch ordered, predictable motion. Crank it up past K ≈ 0.971635... (the critical parameter) and witness the onset of global chaos.
- **Click new paths**: Each click sets an initial system state that evolves into a trajectory following the equations of motion. Watch the system's unexpected symmetries unfold!
- **Hunt for Islands**: Even in the chaotic sea (high K), you can find stable islands. These "KAM tori" are the last survivors of order in a chaotic world. Can you find them?

## Final thoughts 💭

Perhaps the most profound insight from the kicked rotor is this: chaos and order aren't opposites - they're dance partners in a cosmic swing. Playing with the interactive visualization we are exploring fundamental principles that relate seemingly unrelated physical phenomena, from atomic behavior to celestial mechanics.

So go ahead, start clicking! Every trajectory tells a story about the balance between predictability and chaos in our universe.
