(a) and (b). The and the graphs, respectively. One can see the loop cycle in both phase space graphs. (c) and (d) and the (universal time) effective mass as functions of the number of iterations. One can see how temporarily decreases during the cycle. The effective mass significantly grows (in absolute value) as the cycle terminates. (e) The Lyapunov exponent fluctuates during the cycle (relative instability) but generally decreases.
