search for: unforseeable

Sounds like a good start. However, think what it would mean if we could get rid of any residual. In the best case scenario, the output would be a series of function coefficients describing a wave, and a length parameter. In the case of music, you can reasonably expect an unforseeable attack and a consistent decay for each sound component. That means if you can totally describe the first wave to hit (say a guitar string) you can use those function coefficients to help determine what the combined wave will look like when, say, the bassist starts up. The key here is the ability to...
