my wording in this document is somewhat stylised and "precise," the purpose is to acclimatise the reader to academic documents.. not really fun to read
The point is to firmly understand that all generated and processed sounds should be thought of as a composite of
individual frequencies. Sometimes beginners like to contemplate the visual appearance of waveforms. Observing that
changing the phase relation between the frequencies will "sound the same" (pending any sudden changes in amplitude)
while producing very different "shapes" will lead to an appreciation that the visual contour should, at best, be analysed for
the continuity of individual sine frequencies, instead of other visual properties.
