The time-dependent variational principle using generalized Gaussian trial functions yields a finite dimensional approximation to the full quantum dynamics and is used in many disciplines. It is shown how these 'semi-quantum' dynamics may be derived via the Ehrenfest theorem and recast as an extended classical gradient system with the fluctuation variables coupled to the average variables. An extended potential is constructed for a one-dimensional system. The semiquantal behavior is shown to be chaotic even though the system has regular classical behavior and the quantum behavior had been assumed regular.
