Downsample/upsample with non obvious results.
Mystery surrounds jit.ameba.
From earlier (Max 5) Cycling 74 documentation https://docs.cycling74.com/max5/refpages/jit-ref/jit.ameba.html:
“The jit.ameba object began life as a completely failed attempt at a linear interpolation object. As the Oblique Strategies say, “Honor thy error as a hidden intention.” If you’re interested in linear interpolation objects, try the jit.plur object. Otherwise, please enjoy the mess.”
Horizontal and vertical quantization

“This is a pixilation (resampling) trick. The help file admits this was supposed to be something else, but didn’t work. Needs a spell check too, but pretty interesting. ”
