Handshake density score
Graphic interpretation of modem negotiation
Observed surface
[steady high line] —— answer recognised
[two alternating bands] ≋≋ capability exchange
[rising dense field] ░▒▓█ channel probing and training
Implied procedure
[brief fall] · recalculation
[narrower settled band] ═ operating mode selected
[silence to human ear] link work continues above the carrier
Interpretive residue
The score describes changing density and function, not exact frequencies or a playable melody.
No recording is transcribed; the marks ask when noise begins to sound purposeful.
