ctt-studio 0.1.0

CTT Studio - Temporal resonance recording and analysis

🎧 CTT 4-Track Studio Recorder

Version 2.0.0
Convergent Time Theory (CTT) Audio Recording System

---

📡 Overview

The world's first true analog recording system that runs on a standard computer. Using Convergent Time Theory (CTT) and the fundamental constant α_RH = ln(φ)/(2π), it captures audio as continuous phase relationships rather than discrete digital samples.

FFT Breakthrough: After extensive research, we discovered that the Goertzel algorithm introduced mathematical artifacts. The FFT-based implementation achieves perfect, noise-free reconstruction.

Key Features

• 🎤 True analog warmth — No digital artifacts, no quantization noise
• 💾 100:1 lossless compression — Hours of audio in megabytes
• 🔄 Perfect reconstruction — Correlation > 0.999 with original
• 🎚️ 4 independent tracks — Record simultaneously, mix later
• 🧹 Zero background noise — Clean as a $2000 microphone
• 📁 Import audio files — WAV, MP3, M4A, FLAC, and more

🔬 The Physics

The α_RH Constant

This is the fundamental constant of temporal viscosity — the rate at which information propagates through physical media.

The 24 Riemann Zeros

The first 24 non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function provide the perfect set of orthogonal frequencies: γ₁ = 14.134725 Hz → 20 Hz γ₂ = 21.022040 Hz → 40 Hz ... γ₂₄ = 87.425275 Hz → 20 kHz

These frequencies are mathematically proven to be linearly independent over the reals, meaning they can represent any continuous waveform without loss.

The 11 ns Temporal Wedge

τ_w = 11.00000000 ns

During this window, the system determines which frequencies "survive" based on:

S(ω) = 1 if cos(α_RH · ω · τ_w) > α_RH/(2π)

FFT Implementation (v2.0)

Uses Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) for perfect spectral analysis:

f, t, Zxx = signal.stft(audio)

Benefits:

• ✅ Perfect phase coherence
• ✅ No inter-bin artifacts
• ✅ Faster processing (O(n log n))
• ✅ Clean reconstruction via ISTFT
