What it appears to be doing is for every 2 samples:
The first of the pair gets the same positive value on its respective
sample in the first and second half. The second of the pair is then
added to the sample on the first half, and subtracted from the sample on
the second half.
Subsample and repeat the desired number of times.

OK, Makes sense.

Right.
