Ladder

Mode locking — the ladder

One essay so far against this idea. A ladder is the distinct arguments that stand against one idea, and this one has room to grow.
  1. The rotation number against the parameter at K = 1. The measured rotation number of a circle map plotted against its parameter, forming a staircase that is flat over an interval at each simple rational.

    The staircase that is flat almost everywhere

    A map of the circle advances by an average amount each step. Plot that average against the parameter driving it and the graph is flat over an interval at every rational, rises only on a set of measure zero, and still climbs from nothing to one.
