Twiggles

All the above examples are essentially square waves, whose duration and amplitude are independently varying.

Wigout allows for the building of segments that are not ``square wave-like'', but rather similar to triangle or sine waves.

Square-wave-like segments are named wiggles. Triangle-wave-like segments are named twiggles.

Here's a sequence of 6 segments, and each segment is a twiggle. [SHOW THE TWIGGLE SLIDE]

Like a wiggle, a twiggle has a duration and an amplitude that are independently varying. In addition, a twiggle also has a triangular peak, whose amplitude and location can also vary. A Twiggle thus has four independent variables: duration, amplitude, peak amplitude, and peak location.

This slide shows the changing waveform over 30 seconds, and the plots are 3.5 seconds apart.

Wigout allows for the arbitrary combination of segments, so, in this example, segments 1 and 6 are identical, 2 and 5 are identical, and 3 and 4 are identical.

This transformation sounds like this:
