# pulse under latent semantic envelopes # pulse under latent semantic envelopes
*(WIP. Description and pieces only now)* *Lyrics as well as the process of how it became like this*
## Lyrics, in full
Surface.
The equilibrium of silence between the static magnetic noise, the watery planes, and the optical waves.
Blurred and mangled electronic signs over the outbound atmospherical leeway.
Distant stations estimated in abnormal heat perform the inconsistent collimation rite.
Dive.
The black screen of stalemate conceals the massive stars, the charred comets, and the meteorites.
Their questionable glitters, once emissions of brave borderers and dark adventurers,
now the only traces, obscured and indifferent to all but those with a special breed of faith.
The noise floor of a receiving environment is the aggregate of all background signal energy present across a given frequency band at any instant. In urban contexts, primary contributors include electromagnetic emissions from power distribution infrastructure, wireless communications networks, and consumer electronic devices. The noise floor is not centrally coordinated; no single source generates it. It emerges from the cumulative output of many independently operating transmitters, each functioning within its own parameters, whose combined effect is persistent and largely uniform. Under standard conditions, this background level is treated as a fixed baseline rather than a variable of interest. Signals whose amplitude falls at or below this baseline remain physically present in the medium but cannot be distinguished from the background by a receiving system, and are not considered recoverable.
An impulse signal, also referred to as a unit impulse, is defined as a signal with zero value at all points in time except a single instant, at which its value is notionally unbounded, subject to the constraint that its total integrated area equals unity. In practice, true impulse signals cannot be physically produced; they are approximated by short-duration, high-amplitude pulses of sufficient bandwidth. The impulse response of any linear time-invariant system — that is, the output produced when an impulse is presented as input — fully characterises that system's behaviour under any subsequent input. In the absence of any input, a system at rest produces no output and exhibits no properties that distinguish it from any other inactive system. From a single impulse and its measured response, the complete transfer function of the system can be derived.
Subdued sonic scalars vectorise
Acoustic aberrations dissipate
Isotropic funnel strikes a packet rain
Fine-grained bags of acks ground astray
Ocean as a desert buries all of its life
Deck the shell with a perfect thermocline
Curtain shut before the Fresnel bights
Plasma buildup swells your rover's thighs
particulate pressure plagues across a landlocked island
ultraviolet utilitarian paints every third crag bland
lossy lies lament the ludicrous lawful liberty
siren sounds soaken in the sauna of substantiality
essential sentiments leave unbidden perpetually

The first locked in draft version of the song. Things get developed even after this version.

The term "ambient frequency" refers to the aggregate of background signals present in a given environment. In urban contexts, this includes electromagnetic interference from power infrastructure, wireless communications networks, and consumer electronic devices. The ambient field is not centrally coordinated. No single source generates it. It emerges from the cumulative output of many transmitters operating within similar parameters. The resulting noise floor is persistent and of low significance under normal circumstances. Signals that fall below this threshold remain technically present but are not distinguishable from the noise itself, and are not considered practially receivable. The noise floor of a receiving environment is the aggregate of all background signal energy present across a given frequency band at any instant. In urban contexts, primary contributors include electromagnetic emissions from power distribution infrastructure, wireless communications networks, and consumer electronic devices.

An impulse signal, sometimes referred to as a unit impulse, is defined as a signal with zero amplitude at all points except for a single instant, at which point its amplitude approaches infinity while its total energy remains finite. In practical applications, true impulse signals cannot be generated; they are approximated by short-duration waveforms of high amplitude. The impulse response of any linear system - that is, the system's output when presented with an impulse input - fully characterises that system's behaviour. From a single impulse and its response, the complete identity of the system can be derived. This property is considered fundamental to signal analysis.
