Pendulum Wave Synchronization
15 pendulums with graduated lengths cycle through traveling-wave, chaos, and re-synchronization patterns.
Each pendulum swings as a closed-form simple harmonic oscillator (no numerical integration); rod lengths are analytically solved from T=2π√(L/g) so pendulum i completes BASE_CYCLES+i swings during one realignment window, producing a rolling wave that drifts into chaotic-looking interference before snapping back into perfect unison.
