The Helical Basis of Waleffe $h^\pm(k)$. $i k \times h^\pm(k) = \pm |k| h^\pm(k)$. This is an eigenvector basis for the curl operator on Fourier space, critical for separating topological signs of helicity.

Triadic Phase Function $\Psi_{p,q,k} = \phi_p + \phi_q - \phi_k$. When non-linear advection $u \cdot \nabla u$ is written in the Waleffe basis, the temporal evolution of phases creates this oscillatory integral argument.
