We start with the mu function:
$$ \mu \left( x \right) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{\operatorname{abs} \left( \operatorname{mod} \left( 2\log_{2} \left( k \right) x, 2 \right) - 1 \right)}{k^{2}} $$
Now, this is nowhere differentiable, so it might be useful to replace the "zigzag" that we use as our error function with a "smoother" alternative. The most obvious answer is cosine:
$$ \mu_{b} \left( x \right) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{\cos\left(\log_{2}\left(k\right)\tau x\right)}{k^{2}} $$
Let's clean up the function by removing the scale factors on x:
$$ \mu_{c} \left( x \right) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{\cos x}{k^{2}} $$
