There is a plethora of resources on the subject of gravitational orbital
resonances.  I offer a small selection below; since several of you no doubt
have limited time, try to look at items 1 and 2 in advance of Thursday's
session.

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_resonance#Laplace_resonance

2. Resonant Chains of Exoplanets: Libration Centers for Three-body Angles Jared C. Siegel and Daniel Fabrycky

3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRAPPIST-1

4. https://interestingengineering.com/video/why-orbital-resonance-is-a-thing

Item 4 is a basic video explanation of the physics of the phenomenon, of
which I will show the segment during minutes 6:00-16:00: From this
explanation, I believe all else follows, however complicated the detailed
mathematics for complete descriptions.
