THESIS Asimov's para-universe beings come in triads of three roles (INVENTED). Physics has its own famous three. Main (won): the stable figure-eight choreography, found numerically by Moore (1993) and proved by Chenciner and Montgomery (2000): three equal masses chase each other on one curve (LIT). Ghost: the generic three-body problem, chaotic since Poincaré (1890), with no general closed solution. COMPUTEDAn RK4 integration of the figure-eight (Simó's initial conditions) returns to its start after T = 6.3259 and conserves energy. Nudge it and the ghost triad diverges.

MNEMONIC "Three in one loop, or three in chaos."

After Isaac Asimov, The Gods Themselves (1972): original writing, credited; the only quotation is the title’s source line. Main track = the idea that won; ghost track = the challenger that lost. Entangled partner: fusion-gamow.
