a non-linear sinusoidal wave form with an unknown function of x.

yeah yeah ... that sure sounds hi-tone and upscale and impressive, but you think you're getting free pizza for "... with an unknown function of x"?

You're in the right Ballpark. It's not a herd of alien dairy animals, or the corpse of a folksinger who accidentally fell under a truck.

Okay, here's a HINT.

I took the original image and whited out everything in it that wasn't The Important Thing.

But you're actually looking not at a computer-generated virtual image, but at a photographed Solid Object that you could touch and pick up and put on a scale or keep in a corner of the kitchen or use as a paperweight. My estimation is that The Solid Object is about the size of a toaster oven.

But go back to your Right Ballpark and try to figure out (metaphorically speaking) if it's Baseball or Canadian Football or Nerf Ball or Soccer or Golf or Ping Pong. No Pizza yet.

oh, and "sinusoidal" sounds *really* extra-credit high-class, but I feel confident in telling you it ain't sinusoidal.

But you do get credit for "non-linear." High-class, and correct.

Eh ???? what the bloody hell is this ? i have been looking at this thing for about 30 minutes in total since you posted it here. I put on The Ramones first album and scanned the web for 3d objects in in human sciences. Since it looks like something organic I tried chemistry, biochemistry, biology. Zip, zich, null, nada. Also no results in math, physics, statistics an even quantum physics. Jungian Associacion did not work and the ramones were no help at all. I do now that i am a Pinhead, but at least i gave it a go. and I know that some university in south Africa has some beautiful pix in 3d. ....
is this the actual size of the object in quetion or is this just a part of the whole image or an enlargement ?

My first response was that it looked a whole heck of a lot like a tsunami wave pattern, specifically this graph. I'm wondering if it is the graph of the data from one of the recent mini tsuanmis in Japan or Hawaii this year.

Other than that - really cool depiction! Can't tell if it's your work or if it's from somewhere I haven't seen yet.
