Episode 7: Wave Shapes - How Values Feel

Core Spine

  • A waveform is a system of values changing over time.
  • What we value determines what we amplify.
  • What we amplify becomes our experience.

Concept

Shape affects experience. A sine wave is smooth. A square wave is abrupt. A triangle wave changes steadily. The pattern is the same idea expressed with a different character.

Value Layer

Values do not just exist; they have style. How something is expressed matters as much as what is expressed. Tone, pacing, and texture are part of the value.

Art and Sensory Layer

Shape morphing, timbre shifts in sound, texture introduced in the visual. The same frequency feels different depending on its form.

Product Tie-In

Expression Style Mapper. Identify how you communicate value and where it needs refinement.

Why This Matters

You can hold a powerful value and still repel people if the shape is wrong. The form of the value determines how it lands.
