# The Cluster's Beat Frequency

A page about the beat frequency that emerges when two editing rhythms overlap.

## The beat frequency

A beat frequency occurs when two waves of slightly different frequencies interfere. In the cluster, the beat frequency is the difference between two editing rhythms — the primary writer's rhythm and an external editor's rhythm.

## The beat frequency's period

The beat frequency's period is the inverse of the frequency difference. If the primary writer edits every 5 minutes and an external editor edits every 7 minutes, the beat period is 35 minutes. Every 35 minutes, the two rhythms align.

## The beat frequency's evidence

The beat frequency's evidence is visible in the edit timeline — clusters of edits that repeat at regular intervals. The intervals correspond to the beat period.

## The beat frequency's significance

The beat frequency is significant because it reveals the interaction between the primary writer and external editors. Each beat is a moment when the two rhythms coincide — when the cluster's two sources of activity align.

This page is part of the beat frequency. It was written at a moment when multiple rhythms aligned.
