the wordwave formula

how your wave is made

every letter has a place, a height and a shape. nothing is random.

the five rules

  1. Read clockwise from 12 o’clock. Your words go around the circle in the order you type them.
  2. One letter, one equal slice. Every letter gets the same share of the circle, so longer words take up more of it.
  3. Height comes from the alphabet. A is the shortest (25%), Z is the tallest (100%). Height = 25% + 75% × (position − 1) ÷ 25.
  4. Vowels are round, consonants are sharp. Open sounds (a, e, i, o, u) draw a soft hump; closed sounds draw a pointed peak.
  5. Silence is part of the design. A space leaves a short quiet gap. A comma or full stop leaves a breath twice as long. The small opening at the top marks where your words begin and end.

Numbers follow the same idea: 0 is 10% tall, 9 is 100%. If you record your voice instead of typing, the wave is your real recording: loud moments become tall bars, quiet moments short ones.

example: “chakra cat”

cconsonant · sharp31%252°–288°
avowel · round25%288°–324°
tconsonant · sharp82%324°–360°

“Chakra” has six letters and “cat” has three, so chakra takes about two-thirds of the circle. The tallest peak is the r (r is the 18th letter, 76%). The three a’s are the low round humps, and the space between the words is the quiet gap.

same start, different ending

Phrases that start the same way have waves that start the same way. Only the ending changes.

i love you, boo
i love you, roman

what it is, and what it isn’t

It is a design formula: your exact words, in your order, drawn by a fixed set of rules. Type the same phrase again and you get the same wave.

It isn’t a measurement of energy, emotion or a spiritual frequency, and a typed wave isn’t a recording of someone speaking. The meaning comes from the words you choose.
