@matthiasott You perfectly captured the nuance I was living in but couldn’t quite express in my post. There’s definitely friction when traversing disciplines, but it’s good friction because we have to reshape the problem and naive idealism chips away as we get closer to the atoms. A waveform input going through two different guitar pedals will change shape, it will modulate, it’s expected, it’s welcome! Excellent post. Thanks for sharing.
