Corey:
Okay, one last clarification on the gnat-straining that I'm doing here... It's just that talk about zeroes and ones carries meaning for me (given my computer science background) that I think is different than what you intend. I'm on board with your general thought of oscillation, but describing it as flipping between zero and one introduces baggage for me. Zero and One are the asymptotes between which the oscillation occurs, but not the only possible values. That is, it's not just pure "potential" or just pure "actual"; there's a range in between. That's what I was trying to get at when I talked about Real numbers earlier. The oscillation is analog, not digital.
If you would, Corey, help me find a better way that I can try to convey the sense that I am trying to say? To me, Zero and One just represent the "trough" and "crest" of the oscillation, as it were. Not that there is "no in-between". There is, in my mind, a "becoming towards" 0 and a "becoming towards" 1. I'm not a math whiz at all...but this is how it's coming to me.
What is a better way to say what I'm trying to convey that won't carry so much "baggage"?

Another totally weird thought maybe you'd find amusing. I just woke up in the middle of a wild dream. You, D, we're trying to demonstrate this fundamental frequency, so you were trying to pluck the wires on high-voltage transmission line, as one would pluck a guitar, using a long pole. I was desparately trying to warn you that this is gonna get you zorched, but you just told me I wasn't being creative enough.
Interesting dream. Perhaps God will provide an interpretation!
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
Therefore (YOU) go and introduce all peoples into the Way, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and intstructing them in following everything I have commanded you. (Great Commandments!)
And surely I am with you always, even to the very end of the age."
