Relaying some analysis from Discord

@vector_cmdr ran some numbers on the frequencies

Mesh canvas:

globalScale = 1 + Math.sin(time \* 0.9) \* 0.12;

0.9 rad/s ~= 0.143 Hz

Particle wave:

const t = progress * Math.PI * 6 + time * 1.8;

1.8 rad/s ~= 0.286 Hz

Which would correspond with infra low waves, for example as discussed in this paper:

Infra low waves have frequencies that are less than 0.5 Hz. They play major role in brain timing and neural network function.

The paper was just a random Google search result on the topic, but this type of EEG headset obviously has some parallels to W/ARE.

And more from @vector_cmdr

The multi-component part of the particle wave seem to lend some credence to it as well:

const t = progress \* Math.PI \* 6 + time \* 1.8;
const y = (Math.sin(t) \* 55
    + Math.sin(t \* 2.1 + time \* 0.7) \* 28
    + Math.sin(t \* 0.6 - time \* 1.3) \* 18
    + Math.sin(t \* 3.4 + time \* 0.4) \* 9) \* envelope;

They’re adding a drifting phase to the fundamental wave, which (according to some Dr. Wiki time lol) resembles EEG oscillations where the different frequency components of the EEG interfere and never lock into exact harmonics.

The hypothesis that the status is a brainwave appears to hold up to the initial analysis.
