The Band

A room finding its rhythm. Give the board freedom; let the crowd listen.

board freedom (K / K_c)2.00

r = 0.000 · listening for a lock

K represents the moving board’s coupling. Sway is illustrative (6 mm × r). A lock forms over about a minute.

Line: r = √(1 − K_c/K)
Dot: this finite crowd.
Lock count: frequency within 0.001 rad/s of the median, over 20 s.
