Notes on Meaning
- This is a specialized scientific term, primarily used in physics, mathematics, and engineering. It is not commonly used in everyday conversation.
- The concept contrasts with strictly chu kì (periodic), where events repeat at exact, constant intervals. Giả chu kì implies a gradual change in the period or amplitude over time.
