Ferocity waveform geometry

Ferocity controls both the character and the timing of a half-stroke. Internally, the WebUI’s 0–100 setting maps to 0–8. Higher downstroke ferocity shortens the downstroke’s share of the cycle; higher return ferocity shortens the return share. The remaining time is transferred to the opposite half—there is no pause at zero.

The per-profile Ferocity Shape control selects the high-ferocity character. At 0% it favours a finite plateau/square shape. At 100% it favours a rounded pyramidal path. Each half still uses its own ferocity, so a low-ferocity half remains elongated and sinusoidal while a high-ferocity half approaches a direct diagonal traversal.

Reading extreme combinations

A 7 / 1 combination clearly produces a short pointed downstroke and a long sinusoidal return. Exact and near-maximum values require care: the current duration law uses the amount remaining below ferocity 8. Consequently, 8 / 0 allocates only about 0.125% of the cycle to the downstroke, while even 8 / 6 allocates about 0.5%. Position remains continuous, but the requested speed and acceleration can become physically unreachable.
