When the polarity reversal induced by offset boosting is considered, a new regime of a timereversible chaotic system with conditional symmetry is found, and some new time-reversible systems are revealed based on multiple dimensional offset boosting. Numerical analysis shows that the system attractor and repellor have their own dynamics in respective time domains which constitutes the fundamental property in a time-reversible system. More remarkably, when the conditional symmetry is destroyed by a slightly mismatched offset controller, the system undergoes different bifurcations to chaos, and the corresponding coexisting attractors and repellors
shape their own phase trajectories.
