Fluctuations and randomness create the waves in which we live.

----- Generative art as a physics lesson -------
During my teaching at the Faculty of Engineering in my youth, I noticed that metaphors are always appropriate both in philology and in the exact sciences.

Electromagnetic waves come in different forms. In the artfork, sinusoids and squares intersect, so we will talk about these waveforms.

- Sine wave:
A sine wave looks like a smooth, wavy line that rises and falls in a regular rhythm. It can be thought of as a perfect wave on water when there is no wind or other disturbances. It has smooth curves and no sharp changes. Such waves are often found in nature and technology. For example, the sound we hear and the electric current in our homes are mostly sinusoidal in shape.

- Rectangular wave:
A rectangular wave, on the other hand, looks like an alternation of straight horizontal lines that go up or down sharply. Imagine that you turn off and on the light in the room: either there is light, or there is no light. A square wave works in a similar way - it instantly changes its state from high to low and vice versa. This is often used in digital engineering and electronics, where signals need to be clear and understandable, such as "on" or "off".

Is it strange that in the description of waves and physics we use the concepts of ellipse and rectangle? Not at all, just physics is the same nature outside the window as it is in your computers.
