Original question and givens
Use the complete finite self-map on Fin(8)={0,…,7} given by T(x)=(a*x+b) mod 8, a=9, b=17. Choose the least nonnegative residue, including for negative a*x+b. Time is discrete, indexed from 0; a finite orbit is not a general stability result. x0=0, updates=8. Give (modulus, a, b, x0, update count, orbit including x0). Zero updates gives the one-element prefix [x0].
