#| A tiny :cl-buchberger trivial usage. Since I've currently been defining my beeping sounds as like (flet ((period (timestep-x) #|...|#)) #|...|#) It seems I could use somewhat intuitive polynomials. Further, I could have more than one dimension of change over time, which would simply be polynomials of more than one variable. I want to explore this rather than using a dft, since I have the plan to implement the polyblep method as my low level signal generation already. Using goofily chosen polynomials like this I think let's me sweep out funky harmonics in a way that might not be obvious choosing them in frequency space. The way different instruments sound has to do with their harmonics. cl-buchberger also has |# (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :cl-buchberger) (in-package :cl-buchberger-user) (defparameter *ring* (make-instance 'ring :variables '(x))) (defparameter *f-1* (make-polynomial '(+ (expt x 1) 10))) #| *f-1* #<POLYNOMIAL x + 10> |# (defparameter *f-2* (make-polynomial '(- (expt x 1) 10))) #| *f-2* #<POLYNOMIAL x - 10> |# (defparameter *f-2.3* (ring* *f-1* *f-2*)) #| *f-2.3* #<POLYNOMIAL x^2 - 100> |# (mapterm #'identity *f-2.3*) #| (#<CL-BUCHBERGER::TERM -100 #(0)> #<CL-BUCHBERGER::TERM 1 #(2)>) Which it seems like I could use to evaluate polynomial equations. I guess integration & differentiation is another matter. For now, it seems I ran out of time today. Jack Daniel (McCLIM and ECL developer) tells my bbn's scigraph is bitrotten. While I would like to read and tease something out of it, Jack Daniel is also developing a new McCLIM based graphing program (my meaning of program here may be different to what you think) here's @JackDaniel@functional.cafe 's fossil: https://fossil.turtleware.eu/polyclot Also @rwxrwxrwx@mathstodon.xyz 's cl-buchberger https://git.sr.ht/~jmbr/cl-buchberger/tree/ McCLIM: https://codeberg.org/McCLIM/McCLIM |#
