Oscillations can be longitudinal along one dimension, such as chemical-bond-length oscillations. Oscillations can be transverse along two dimensions, such as chemical-bond-angle oscillations. Violin-string points oscillate transversely across resting-string line. Plane waves, such as in vibrating guitar strings, can rotate around travel-direction axis, like helices, in three dimensions. Electromagnetic-wave points have transverse electric-field oscillation and transverse perpendicular magnetic-field oscillation. Electromagnetic waves also travel, so they have three dimensions and can rotate around travel direction. Electrons in electronic orbitals can oscillate in three dimensions.
Waves spread over space. Perhaps, mind is like waves {waves and sensations}. However, waves cannot model colors, because primary-color waves cannot interact or sum to make secondary-color waves.
wave modulation
Television and radio signals have basic frequencies. To carry information about music or scenes, basic-wave amplitude or frequency can vary with signal intensity and frequency. Flow modulation can carry information. Perhaps, mind is modulated brain waves or flows.
frequency transitions
Waves change frequency in one cycle, with no intermediate stages. Mind transitions between mental states with no intermediate states.
