揭示1/f波动的通用机制:通过调幅与解调实现跨音乐与自然的统一解释
Dynamic Synchronization and Resonance as a Universal Origin of 1/f Fluctuations -- Amplitude Modulation Across Music and Nature
- 基于调幅/解调框架,结合振子同步与频率共振产生1/f谱
- 数值模拟显示两种机制单独或联合均可生成数个数量级的1/f波动
- 适用于音乐、地震、天文数据,为普遍现象提供简洁可扩展解释
本文提出一种普适物理机制,解释广泛系统中出现的1/f波动现象。重点验证于声学场景。该机制基于幅度调制(AM)与解调(DM),其中1/f谱并非来自原始波形,而是其解调后的幅度包络。两种互补过程共同生成所需调幅:(i) 通过扩展的Kuramoto模型模拟振子间的随机同步,呈现持续的同步-去同步循环;(ii) 声学或结构环境中本征模态的频谱累积导致频率选择性共振。数值模拟表明,两种机制独立或协同作用时,经解调后均能稳健产生跨越多个数量级的1/f谱,且经典Kuramoto临界点并非必要条件。通过对音乐演奏、地震记录和天体时间序列的分析,揭示其共享的底层结构。本研究确立解调为1/f波动的通用路径,为自然与工程系统中该现象的普遍性提供了简单且可扩展的解释。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We propose a universal physical mechanism for the emergence of 1/f fluctuations, observed across a wide range of systems. In particular, we verify this on acoustic cases. The mechanism is based on amplitude modulation (AM) and demodulation (DM), where the 1/f spectral law arises not in the raw waveform but in its demodulated amplitude envelope. Two distinct yet complementary processes generate the required AM: (i) stochastic synchronization among oscillators, modeled via an extended Kuramoto framework that captures perpetual synchronization-desynchronization cycles, and (ii) frequency-selective resonance, modeled by spectral accumulation of eigenmodes in acoustic or structural environments. Numerical simulations demonstrate that both mechanisms, acting separately or in combination, robustly produce 1/f spectra over several decades when DM is applied, and that the classical Kuramoto critical point is not necessary for their emergence. We demonstrate the cross-domain relevance of this AM/DM framework through analyses of musical performances, seismic records, and astrophysical time series, revealing a common underlying structure. This work establishes demodulation as a general route to 1/f fluctuations, providing a simple and scalable explanation for its ubiquity in both natural and engineered systems. Keywords: 1/f fluctuation, amplitude modulation, synchronization, resonance, Kuramoto model, music, natural noise, demodulation
