Nonlinear warping refers to a mathematical transformation that distorts a space, signal, or image in a way that is not uniform across its domain. Unlike linear warping—which scales, rotates, or shifts data in predictable and proportional ways—nonlinear warping involves bending, stretching, or compressing regions unequally. This makes it powerful for modeling complex phenomena such as time distortions in audio signals, geometric deformations in images, or nonlinear mappings in neural networks. Th
