Ok, I guess I should rephrase, I'm a novice who made a circuit expecting to 
end up with 4 pulse wave oscillators that can beat in and out of 
synchonization, but since I went about doing it the wrong way, I ended up with 
a circuit that produces sounds and XY plots simliar to output I've seen from 
various chaotic functions, I thought this might be an interesting property, 
but really I guess it's not at all. The LEDs are shorted because I slapped 
this together with not much formal knowledge of how circuitry works. heh, 
however they do all light up when the osccillator leaves well, what I think to 
be a chaotic state, and go into whitenoise.
Well anyway, sorry if I was unclear but it's a fun toy, and I think it would 
make an interesting CV for a modular setup.
