Example of the detailed motion of three bodies initially in a non-hierarchical configuration. A smaller body (C, red) falls toward two larger bodies (A, blue and B, green), leading to a complex interplay in which initially A and C pair up, sending B into several large excursions, but after a close triple encounter A and B now form a highly eccentric binary which during a subsequent close triple encounter ejects C into an escape while the newly formed permanent binary of A and B (which is now more compact but still highly eccentric) recoils.
