What they are doing is increasing the accuracy of reading samples from a large table, using 2 32-bit floats, instead of just one. This [line~~] is a function of time, mapping time onto a 1-D path in the plane.
Tabread4~ works by pointer arithmetic. My guess what happens is, you add the first outlet of line~~ to the beginning of the array. Then you add the second one. And because you're doing it in two separate steps, there's no loss in accuracy. Or do you take a double, break it up into two floats, pass them, and put them back together?

What does appending a tilde mean? From the first post i thought is was just slang for 'this is really a tilde object that does it's thing right' as in underlining. After that the thread took a direction into discussion about time and
space/
dimensions.
Btw. Late (as in not younger) Wittgenstein says: "Forget about this, Patrick, and do some patching".
