%N a(n) = floor(x(n)), where (x(n),y(n)) are defined by the Chirikov "standard map" y(n) = y(n-1) + 2*sin(x(n-1)), x(n) = x(n-1) + y(n), with x(0)=y(0)=1.

%C The Chirikov map is an example of a nonlinear dynamical system which can exhibit chaotic behavior. Most such maps do not easily lead to integer sequences, but this map does.

%C Note that some websites reduce x(n) mod 2*Pi, but this version does not.
