Summary

Operator wants a bit more weird, emphasising "segment 1 to +X, segment 2 to -X". Retunes the curated 18-waypoint preset (follow-up to #4):

  • X axes strictly anti-phasetop_x = -bottom_x, correlation −1.00 (was −0.84), sign-alternating on ~88% of consecutive steps. Segment 1 bends +X exactly when segment 2 bends −X → the bottom and top counter-bend into a clear wave/slither, the strongest two-segment read on camera.
  • Weirder Y — each Y axis now writhes on a sum of two incommensurate sinusoids (was a single sine) → more aperiodic, organic out-of-plane motion.
  • A touch more dynamic — consecutive separation up to ~1.1 norm (was 0.886). Count (18), amplitude (0.5 cm), speed, and caps are unchanged, so it keeps running well.

Test plan

  • tests/test_sci_fi_waypoint_relay.py — 41 passed
  • Preset quality re-verified: min-sep 1.37 (count 9) / 1.11 (count 18); X corr −1.00; 88% sign alternation
  • Hardware: confirm it reads as a stronger, weirder wave

…rithing Y

Operator wants a bit more weird, emphasising "segment 1 to +X, segment 2 to
-X". Retune the curated 18-waypoint preset:

- X axes are now STRICTLY anti-phase (top_x = -bottom_x, correlation -1.00,
  was -0.84) and alternate sign on ~88% of consecutive steps -> the bottom
  and top segments counter-bend exactly opposite in X, the clearest wave /
  slither read on camera.
- Y axes writhe on a sum of two incommensurate sinusoids each (was a single
  sine) -> more aperiodic, organic out-of-plane weirdness.
- Consecutive separation rises to >= 1.1 norm (was 0.886) so it is a touch
  more dynamic. Count (18), amplitude (0.5 cm), speed, caps unchanged -- it
  keeps running well.

Relay tests pass; preset quality re-verified.
