I just had a bit of a play as well...I haven't really ever dug into attractors all that much, so this one looked like a fun way to try something out (also means that there are probably a lot of other approaches more efficient than mine!).  But looking briefly at the coodeit defintion, I think you may find a little more control over your geometry with this one...needs weaverbird...

edit: I perform the wb loop subdivision twice because it doesn't like doing subdivisions deeper than 3.  Also, I set the depth on the stellate to zero.

Oh my goodness I'm absolutely gobsmacked!

That's impressive!

OK, I had moved on to my usual adding sails onto things...

But I think I'll go back and rework this with your definition if you don't mind.

In this sprawling mess of a definition above it's best at the end to "flip curve" one of the catenary sets to be guided by the other... avoids the occasional confused sail
