Roger,
Can you tell me why is it that in the following code of yours: 

Clear[x, y, n];
a0 = 0.41209;
x[n_] := x[n] = Mod[-a0*x[n - 1] - y[n - 1], 1];
y[n_] := y[n] = Mod[x[n - 1], 1] ;
x[0] = 0.7;
y[0] = .65;
a = Table[{x[n], y[n]}, {n, 0, 10000}]; 
ListPlot[a, PlotRange -> All] ;

we get a fractal-like pic, but changing to a0 = 0.41208 we do not?
(And why is that replacing Mod[-,1] by FractionalPart[-] in the above
code will not give the same phenomenon?

Peter
