1. A method for controlling a mechanism through the use of higher-dimensional n-curves, comprising:
- providing an electronically-controlled mechanism;
establishing electronic communication by a computer with the electronically-controlled mechanism;
executing a controller on the computer to send mechanism commands to the electronically-controlled mechanism; and
executing process control software to control the electronically-controlled mechanism, wherein the process control software uses higher-dimensional n-curves to control the electronically-controlled mechanism.

Abstract
A method for controlling a mechanism through the use of higher-dimensional n-curves is disclosed. An electronically-controlled mechanism is provided. Electronic communication is established between a computer and the electronically-controlled mechanism. A controller is running or executing on the computer to send mechanism commands to the electronically-controlled mechanism. Process control software is used to control the electronically-controlled mechanism. The process control software uses higher-dimensional n-curves to control the electronically-controlled mechanism.
