gamma - -4.2766 figure

gamma = -4.2766

This is a Poincare section: the attractor is chaotic (C).
The symmetry of the attractor is Z6 x Z2.
The trajecetory spends long times in each of 4 `ghost attractors,' which have Z3 symmetry. This causes the alternating yellow and blue colors in the top view. The bottom view shows the correct symmetry.

gamma = -2.2
              gamma = -2.2 and -2.3
gamma = -2.3

gamma = -2.4
              gamma = -2.4 and -2.5
gamma = -2.5

gamma = -4.2765
              gamma = -4.2765 and -4.2766
gamma = -4.2766   (This figure)

gamma = -4.5
              gamma = -4.5 and -4.6
gamma = -4.6
