I document my final-year hunt for a graph-based modulation scheme, showing the math, simulations, and why super-linear scaling never materialised. The write-up is a post-mortem meant to save future researchers time by mapping the dead ends and constraints I ran into.
A nostalgic dive into the fast inverse square root, starting from why 3D graphics need normalized normals and ending with the famous bit hack. The post works through the math, vector examples, and why the trick mattered.
