Another example is a sequence that starts out nearly chaotic, but
eventually settles into a period N attractor loop. When you iterate
orbits on the interior of the Mandelbrot set, many will have this
characteristic. They look chaotic initially, but are attracted to a
periodic attractor inside M and become periodic. There are also
periodic attractors with arbitrarily large periods, so they may look
"chaotic" to your finite buffer size :-).

Either
I'm not that smart, or in all my years as a programmer, I've never
come across a linked list where part of it is in a loop, not all of it.
A "typical" application would be in a state machine, where the non-loop
bit at the head would be used for initialization.
