Phase plot

🦊 Prey × Predators

closed loop = cyclic

Mode—

🐰 Prey—

🦊 Predators—

State—

Note

The predator peak always arrives one beat AFTER the prey peak → out-of-phase oscillation, and the phase plot traces a closed loop.

Pick a phenomenon & adjust the birth/predation/death rates on the right · watch the oscillation below & the phase plot on the left
