It looks like a trajectory in phase space - as studied, for example, in
chaos theory. If so, it is not the path of a point through real physical
space (like a spacecraft trajectory). Instead it is the path of the
state of a system through an abstract space of possible system states.
Google for "chaos theory" or "strange attractors".
