Slow Fade

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Slow Fade has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Mick Unplugged Podcast (Nov 2026). Concept John uses to describe gradual loss of self, identity, and sense of significance despite outward functioning — a core problem motivating his work.

In wireless communications, fading is the variation of signal attenuation over variables like time, geographical position, and radio frequency. Fading is often modeled as a random process. In wireless systems, fading may either be due to multipath propagation, referred to as multipath-induced fading, weather, or shadowing from obstacles affecting the wave propagation, sometimes referred to as shadow fading.
