Compress with `F(v) = sign(v) * ln(1 + mu|v|) / ln(1 + mu)` on the signal
scaled to `[-1, 1]`, quantise uniformly, expand back. The steps end up fine
near zero and coarse near full scale, which is the right allocation when the
interesting part of the signal is small compared with its peaks — speech,
vibration, anything with a large crest factor.
This is where mu-law comes from: the image operator
`companding_mu_law` is the same curve applied to intensity. Reporting both
keeps the family honest about which dimension the technique was designed for.
Applicability — it is the crest factor that decides. Measured on a sine
of amplitude *A* with one sample pinned at full scale, so the crest factor is
exactly `1/A` (mean square error relative to a uniform quantiser):
crest 50 4 bit 0.011 6 bit 0.014 (about 90x better)
crest 20 4 bit 0.122 6 bit 0.101
crest 6.7 4 bit 0.613 6 bit 0.616
crest 2.0 4 bit 4.22 6 bit 6.03 (several times WORSE)
So the rule is crest factor above roughly 7 — speech, vibration, impact.
Below that, a plain uniform quantiser wins and mu-law actively hurts.
★Note the peak is a single sample: on random signals of the same family
the advantage swung between 0.55 and 0.87 purely with the seed, because the
largest excursion sets the scale. Measure the crest factor of *your* signal,
do not assume it from the distribution.
Other limits: `mu` near 0 degenerates to uniform quantisation (that is how
you check the curve is doing anything), and the curve is fixed — unlike a
Lloyd-Max codebook fitted to the signal — which is the point when values must
stay comparable across recordings.
Typed bridge of the 1d op `companding_mu_law into the 2-D evolution registry: the same implementation, called under the op(v, a, b) convention. a drives mu (default 255) and b drives bits` (default 8).

次の例は元の台帳 op companding_mu_law を呼ぶもの。この橋渡し op は同じ実装を fn(v, a, b) 規約に合わせただけなので、挙動はそのまま当てはまる(呼び出し形だけ違う)。
