Sine is a very simple math tool can return value between -1 and 1 and also it's a periodic value.

By default, it control all agents. It means all agents have same phase, all the agents will get the same value, also have same period

Sentences with "agents" suffix: randomize phase on each agents, different agent will get the different value due to the randomized phase.But all of them have the same period

 

Note: the higher frequency the faster change the value
