G16 family 0: Continuous

Moves the state one tenth of the way toward the normalized change signal. Algebraically it is a 90% old-state and 10% target blend, so the recurrence smooths successive inputs.

Read the equation

Moves the state one tenth of the way toward the normalized change signal. Algebraically it is a 90% old-state and 10% target blend, so the recurrence smooths successive inputs.

Its role in the build

Moves the state one tenth of the way toward the normalized change signal.

Terms & definitions

TermMeaning in this source
x

How it works

  1. Read the displayed expression together with the surrounding source statement; it is retained as an expression rather than silently completed into an equality.

  2. Substitute the source-defined variables or recorded values and follow the displayed arithmetic and indexing exactly.

  3. Use this version’s variable definitions and update order. The same symbol may be assigned a different meaning in another build.

Assumptions & limits

Conditions

  • The surrounding implementation must define the input scales and any output clipping.

  • A stable blend toward an input is not evidence of consciousness.
