Actually Grim and another guy studied version of Gödel and Löb theorem in fuzzy logic (meaning that they use the closed interval [0, 1] has set of truth values. They illustrate that the truth values of most fixed points in self-reference logic describe chaotic trajectories (in the set of truth value).

I don't understand what they a "fixed points" of, if not truth value?

In the (classical) self-reference logic, they are sentences, and they are fixed point in the sense of being a solution of a self-reference.

The self-reference x <-> ~[]x has solution the sentence <>f (beweisbar("0=1")). (Gödel 1931) The self-reference x <-> []x has solution the sentence t (or "0=0") (Löb 1955) The self-reference x <-> []~x has solution the sentence []f (beweisbar("0=0")) (Jeroslow, Smullyan) The self-reference x <-> ~[]~x has solution the sentence f (or "0=1"). (Gödel)

But in fuzzy logic, some of those "fixed points" are not fixed, and moves in the truth set in a chaotic way, with a variety of attractors.

Ok, so it's some chaotic attractor that is "fixed", not a point. I understood a fixed point to be the the value of f(x) where x=f(x) when the value exists in the sense of convergence in the limit of iterating f.
