ditherings
Bouts of wavering
Ditherings is the plural of dithering, which names both the act of wavering indecisively and a technical process in computing and graphics.
Someone's ditherings are their episodes of hesitation: His ditherings over the menu held up the whole table.
In digital imaging, dithering creates the illusion of colors or gradients by mixing available pixels—the ditherings of an algorithm producing smoother visual transitions.
