INTRODUCTION

On a microscopic scale, the arrival of seismic events is always emergent, consequently use of strict causality in mathematical analysis often leads to disappointing results. Here we see how a slight modification to Fourier spectral factorization allowing slight noncausality (half period) easily handles the Ricker wavelet, a commonly observed emergent waveform.
