A set of four piecewise-linear ordinary differential equations is examined. The system has a single positive Lyapunov characteristic exponent. Over a parameter range, however, the Kaplan-Yorke dimension is greater than three and the Poincare section appears to have two continuous directions. The equations can be converted to a chemical form whose solutions have the same characteristics as the piecewise-linear set.
