This "magnetic pendulum" uses a motor to set it into motion at a specific speed and angle. Magnets within the pendulum's end and the floor repel one another as the pendulum swings, creating a complex interaction over time. Researchers have trained AI to take data from its movements to uncover simple equations that successfully model its movements over time. Critically, these equations can predict how the system will settle into stability over time. The approach works on complex nonlinear systems ranging from global climate patterns to neural activity.
