The single ungated random segment does the same thing when its looped or not. Why not use the looped version for a smooth chaos such as Lowrenz attractor such as O_C or Streams easter egg, with fader for speed and knob for “Rho” https://ornament-and-cri.me/user-manual-v1_3#anchor-low-rents or something inspired by the Peak random LFO mode, or the Y channel of marbles
This is slightly in tension with #3, but I'm worrying less and less about that. As I mention in the MI forum, one of the nice things about chaotic modules is how the different outputs are related, but still distinct. I'm not sure that's achievable here, especially when each segment has it's own parameters.
Given the prevalence of lorenz systems in eurorack already, it might be fun to try something else. So far I've really been enjoying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%27_cyclically_symmetric_attractor and then squashing the output to ensure it stays within range. b at 0.2 gives a nice, weird, but periodic-ish thing. At 0 its almost brownian, but combined with the squashing, it gives nice periods of stability and sudden (but not too sudden) swerves. It's also nice because its symmetric in the dimensions, so you're not missing much by not having the other dimensions.
