2010 TK7's orbit has a chaotic character, making long-range predictions difficult.
Objects with chaotic rotations (such as exhibited by Hyperion) are also problematic, as their synchronous orbits change unpredictably.

It is notable for being the first such object to be shown to be in a stable but chaotic orbit in resonance with Jupiter, its Lyapunov time being relatively short, at 6,900 yr.
It is an essential part of Chua's circuit where it is implemented as a voltage-controlled, nonlinear negative resistor as part of the chaotic oscillator.
Ekeland's exposition provided mathematical inspiration to Michael Crichton's discussion of chaos in Jurassic Park.
