About Wandering Waveforms

An independent notebook and laboratory investigating wave phenomena across physical acoustics, signal processing, machine-learning phase geometry, and procedural graphic notation.

Figure 1. Two-source coherent wave interference and analytic hyperbolic phase loci — move or drag across the plate to vary focal separation and phase tilt continuously.

Scope & Archival Structure

Wandering Waveforms studies the shared mathematics beneath audible vibration, electromagnetic propagation, high-dimensional representation spaces, and drawn form. Across brass nodal plates, rotary positional embeddings in sequence models, magnetospheric lightning dispersions, and ruled line gratings, identical questions recur: how coupled oscillators lock into consonance, how boundary geometries select discrete eigenmodes, and what happens where periodic symmetries fracture.

Rather than separating theory from apparatus, entries are published in the medium best suited to the phenomenon—longform proofs alongside real-time WebAudio instruments, pure-vector plate folios, unedited hydrophone and shortwave captures, commonplace notes, and lineage dossiers. Every entry is catalogued in a single reverse-chronological index and paired with its own interactive mathematical plate.

Colophon & Optical Rules

Typeset exclusively in first-party self-hosted studio families: Herbik for mastheads, chronological indices, tables, and longform prose; WWMath for native OpenType MathML equations; WWMono for numerical and DSP code listings. Structural rules and decorative boxes are omitted in favor of spatial alignment, typographic weight, and quiet tonal surfaces across matte carbon (#121212) and archival paper (#fcfcfa).

Every plate and figure across the archive is rendered framelessly onto the page ground as resolution-independent inline SVG using C¹ Catmull–Rom Cubic Bézier splines, Taubin-faired iso-contours, and exact conic primitives. Pages are served as plain static HTML, CSS, SVG, and dependency-free JavaScript—with zero analytics, zero cookies, and zero external runtime requests.
