<h1>⚙️ Switching: The Pulse of Binary Rhythm</h1>
58+
59+
<p>Electricity isn’t just a flow — it’s a choice. ON or OFF. HIGH or LOW. Switching is the act of toggling between these states, and when done rhythmically, it becomes the foundation of square wave generation.</p>
60+
61+
<h2>🧭 What Is Switching?</h2>
62+
<p>At its simplest, switching is the controlled connection and disconnection of an electrical path:</p>
63+
<ul>
64+
<li><strong>ON</strong>: Voltage is applied — current flows.</li>
65+
<li><strong>OFF</strong>: Circuit is broken — current stops.</li>
66+
</ul>
67+
<p>This binary action is the essence of digital logic, rhythmic gates, and square wave oscillation.</p>
68+
69+
<h2>🔁 From Switch to Wave</h2>
70+
<p>When a switch flips between ON and OFF at regular intervals, it produces a square wave — a signal that alternates between two voltage levels with sharp transitions.</p>

78+
79+
<ul>
80+
<li><strong>Manual switching</strong>: Slow, deliberate — useful for demonstration.</li>
81+
<li><strong>Electronic switching</strong>: Fast, precise — used in oscillators, clocks, and logic circuits.</li>

</ul>

<h2>🎛️ Switching in Synthesis</h2>
118+
<p>In modular synthesis, switching underpins rhythmic structure:</p>
119+
<ul>
120+
<li><strong>Gate signals</strong>: Square pulses that trigger envelopes.</li>
121+
<li><strong>Clock signals</strong>: Regular square waves that drive sequencers.</li>
122+
<li><strong>Logic modules</strong>: Use switching to combine, invert, or compare signals.</li>
123+
</ul>
124+
<p>Switching isn’t just functional — it’s expressive. A square wave is a musical yes/no, a rhythmic heartbeat, a binary breath.</p>
125+
126+
<h2>🧠 Why It Matters</h2>
127+
<p>Understanding switching helps you:</p>
128+
<ul>
129+
<li>Design circuits that pulse with intention</li>
130+
<li>Build oscillators, gates, and clocks from first principles</li>
131+
<li>Debug signal paths and timing issues</li>
132+
<li>Appreciate the elegance of binary rhythm</li>
133+
</ul>

<h3>🧩 Sidebar: Switching as Gesture</h3>
142+
<p>Switching is more than circuitry — it’s a gesture.<br>
143+
A decision. A rhythm. A binary breath.</p>
144+
145+
<p>Every toggle is a moment of choice:<br>
146+
Presence or absence. Sound or silence.<br>
147+
Voltage or void.</p>
148+
149+
<p>In synthesis, switching becomes expressive:<br>
150+
A gate opens, a voice speaks.<br>
151+
A pulse ticks, a pattern emerges.</p>
152+
153+
<p>Behind every square wave is a flicker of intention —<br>
154+
A signal saying <em>yes</em>, then <em>no</em>, then <em>yes</em> again.</p>
