Phase space, do tons of trials and plot angle vs velocity color coded to which magnet it ends up at. Able to make predictions with this. Our predictions from the centers of attractor paths were 100% accurate, boundary trials were 50% just like it should be since boundaries become fractal in nature and make it impossible to predict how the system will end up
