The chaos I chose to use was known as the Lorenz system. I chose it because it sounded familiar from DiffEQ, but I was mistaking it for "Lorentz," which the Wikipedia article even opens by saying:
"the Lorenz equations, note it is not Lorentz"
The Lorenz system is a parametric function which when mapped over X, Y, and Z, creates somewhat of a mix between a figure-8 and a butterfly. I personally think it looks like two galaxies colliding.
There is not much else I can really say about it, as it's mostly differential equations and nitty gritty that I don't fully understand. I have to say however, it looks quite pretty.
Here is a video of it being formed:
