I am spending way too much time trying to understand the intricacies of two pendulum setups. And, there is no stopping in sight.

Well, I'd say I'd be happy for you to stop obsessing over two pendulums - as soon as you get into three. 
They're really fascinating!

You and your pendulums are a Svengoolie hypnotizing Linda and many others. Addictive so you must continue.
In my years of dealing with machines, I have retained my sanity by understanding that machines are insane. In your case, you are documenting just how far these living machines, pendulums, will go in their audacious display of movement. When pendulums couple themselves with AI, we are all under threat.
You are trying to understand the movements, you may never. I still have not figured out the hoochie-coochie gal at the state fair back in 1952... how did she rotate one tassel clockwise and the other counterclockwise? They were propeller-like pendulums. Although there is a "How-to" however, she does not explain the physics and math of the phenomenon.

Each time you post these I think they can't be as good as the last ones you posted. However, it seems to me that they just get better and better. Stunning and captivating!

Stunning work! I think I lean more toward #3. But your technique is terrific!
