#OverCompression
A little sketch sheet by the lovely SooshiBento over on twitter. Maki putting on a little show for one of her wives and in the process teaching us the dangers of overcompression.

Complex systems rarely collapse from chaos …

they collapse from too much structure.

The #CRTI Stability Model (T = R / Φ) makes structural overcompression measurable before failure becomes visible: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 🖖

#Systems rarely collapse from chaos.

They collapse from overcompression …

when rigidity rises while feedback permeability declines.

I’ve published a formal ratio model (T = R / Φ) exploring this dynamic in complex adaptive systems.

Open for critique.

Something I made using a variety of filter effects in GIMP, including overcompression, pixel sorting, and edge detect among others.

Image made from an urbex photo I took using a combination of overcompression and pixel sorting effects in GIMP.

This is a style of glitch art that I call "edgecore", just because it looks edgy. It's basically just overcompression combined with pixel sorting effects.

There's also the opposite problem – the overcompression of the "Loudness Wars." Through most of the '90s CD "remastered" releases sounded crappier than the earlier releases because the dynamic range was cut to about 15-20 dB, a fraction of what CD is capable of. 😉

If structural overcompression & adaptive collapse are nonlinear phase phenomena, shouldn’t we model them within a unified information-thermodynamic framework rather than isolated ratios?

#CRTI2.5 formalizes this integration across rigidity&feedbackpermeability&collapse.

When structural complexity outpaces feedback permeability, systems do not fail from chaos …

they fail from overcompression.

Listening from this angle is really interesting bc I'm noticing a lot of stuff especially about raw extratone sound design like the use of on-and-off heavy overcompression that I never really noticed before now

Examples of "noise" in an image:
1. Film grain
2. Jagged edges from overcompression

Christ. I was going to make a joke about only needing reaction gifs animated by Phil Tippet, but there are in fact a ton of Mad God gifs in the infernal engines of overcompression.

This happens for me in poetry and dramatic writing. A kind of overdevelopment and overcompression.

Is economic recovery proof of stability …

or can it be a symptom of overcompression?

Systems don’t fail from chaos alone. They also fail from too much order.

Linear Creep

Something I was experimenting with: using overcompression to pixelate an image and then doing incremental pixel sorting effects that are applied one pixel at a time.

3 types of dynamic processing:

Downward compressors control the loudest part of your signal.

Limiting prevents going any louder than a defined point.

Overcompression drastically reduces sounds that are too loud.

Let’s say it’s 90% “get off my lawn!” That still leaves 10% of reality.

I include:

Rehashed samples without significant new perspective

No mainstream instrumentals like “Moments in Love”, “Songbird”, etc.

Fewer singers with robust tone

Overcompression

No bridge sections

It's a more efficient and productive way to describe things. Sometimes it may misfire by overcompression, but for LLMs it works reasonably well, I think. They are alien, but less alien than, say, an octopus, or maybe even a crow.

Ja tako je. Dejansko sem zeloooo odprt do glasbe (še vedno iščem tisto "slabo musko" o kateri tolk folk govori), in edino, ki mi gre na jetra je to, overcompression. Naprimer zasedba Evergrey, bolj flat in -ahem- zim-sivo se ne da dobit! 😩
