Weierstrass transform

The Weierstrass Transform is a way to turn any picture or sound into a mathematical equation. This equation can be used to make new pictures or sounds that look and sound similar.

To do this, first you take a picture or sound, and break it down into tiny pieces. You look at all the little pieces and figure out how they fit together. Then, you write a math equation (a set of numbers and symbols) that tells how the picture or sound is made.

Now this math equation can be used to make something new. By putting in different numbers, you can make whether a different style of picture or sound, something similar but with a different look or sound. This is how the Weierstrass Transform works!
