 The offsets in the "Adding randomness" example above appear noticeably more jittery than a true natural process. This is because the random offsets are allowed to jump directly over the entire range that the indicator bounces within.
-A random offset process can be smoothed out by //accumulating small random offsets// rather than jumping completely randomly over some range. The small random offsets will average out to zero in the long run, but they will prevent the indicator from jumping too far between any two frames. On the other hand, it's possible for the total offset to temporarily exceed the desired bounds.

The small random offsets will average out to zero in the long run, but they will prevent the indicator from jumping too far between any two frames. The downsides are that it's possible for the total offset to temporarily exceed the desired bounds and that sometimes the accumulated offset can become so large that it never seems to return to zero.
