A new formalism for studying three-body interactions is discussed. It introduces the concept of forced modes of oscillation of a binary, and relies on the chaos theory concept of resonance overlap. The treatment provides a powerful tool for studying stability and scattering in hierarchical systems, and is not restricted by mass ratios, eccentricities or orientations.
