Whist practically impossible to achieve, theoretically, would two separate double pendulums produce the same path of motion/results given they have absolutely identical starting conditions?

Yes, if everything about them is identical. The double pendulum is an example of a system that exhibits chaos, **not** stochasticity. The motion is not random, it’s deterministic. Just very sensitive to initial conditions.

So if you were to repeat the exact same initial conditions on two double pendulums which are identical in every way, they would undergo the same exact motion.
