The directory is empty. I need to create index.html with a self-contained single-page web app simulating a chaotic double pendulum. First, I need to recall the correct equations for a double pendulum. The standard equations for a double pendulum with masses m1, m2, lengths l1, l2, angles θ1, θ2 from the downward vertical, gravity g. The accelerations: Let’s define: c1 = cos(θ1) c2 = cos(θ1 - θ2) s1 = sin(θ1) s2 = sin(θ1 - θ2) s3 = sin(θ2) Then, the angular accelerations α1, α2. A common form is: denom = l1*l1*(m1+m 2) + l2*l2*m2 + 2*m2*l1*l2*cos(θ1-θ2) Then: a1 = [ -g*(2*m1 + m2)*s1 - m2*g*s2*cos(θ1-θ2) - m2*l2*ω2 ²*s2*sin(θ1-θ2) - m1*l1*ω1²*s1 - 2*m2*l1*ω1²*s2*cos(θ1-θ2) ] / denom wait, better to use the standard one I recalled earlier.

The single file is done and present.
Created `/workspace/index.html` — a fully self-contained single-page chaotic double pendulum simulation with: - Accurate nonlinear equations of motion (semi-implicit Euler integrator) - Real-time colorful fading trail behind the tip - Draggable tip to set initial conditions - Pause/reset + length/gravity controls - Touch + keyboard shortcuts - No external dependencies or network usage
TAKE IT TO CODE
A single self-contained HTML file — copy it and open in any browser, or reuse the prompt with your own pi-agent run.
RUN
EVALUATION
Double pendulum simulates chaotic motion with colorful fading trail; click/drag/space pause work, arrows/wasd have no distinct effect.

MEASUREMENTS
Raw readings from the capture, not a verdict — the grade above is the only judgement. Percentages are how much of the screen changed; the measure under-reports sparse motion on a dark background.
