@dostovel Remapping the values linearly is the same as linear interpolation, which is a fancy way of saying something like: “draw a straight line between the two given points.”
Here 0 ‘goes to’ 0.5 and 1 ‘goes to’ 1. Then, because there is a straight line connecting them, 0.5 goes to 0.75, which lies exactly halfway between 0.5 (which is where 0 is ‘mapped to’) and 1 (where 1 is ‘mapped to’)
Should you make the line longer (but keep it straight and through those points), then that is called linear extrapolation, to hide the fact that it is just a straight line. Otherwise people might recognize that Math is not so difficult and mathematicians aren’t very clever at all….
