To Daniel
Okay you obviously have a much better grasp than I do
let me ask if we use your initial two cycle method
what about upping to 3 or 4 cycles ?
then looking at your

What about something along this line
ten segments per cycle
< 1st cycle > < 2nd cycle > < 3rd cycle > < 4th cycle >
1111100000 1111100000 1111100000 1111100000 slows down by ??
1110000000 1110000000 1110000000 1110000000 slows down by ??
Or is it that number of segments that controls the slow down rate
So
10000000000000000000 10000000000000000000 would be 20 x slow down ??
Also, what controls the slow down factor, the ratio of 1's to 0's per cycle ?
1 x 1 vs 9 x 0 thus 1 : 10 and 10x slower
5 x 1 vs 5 x 0 thus 5 : 10 and 2x slower
Then lastly I don't see how the
0 , 200 and 100 , 200 translates to the number of x's per cycle ?
Sorry for so many questions, but I'm trying to fully grasp the concept
Thanks again
