We define a new version of variation which may be interpreted as the graph-theoretic variation when a function is naturally extended to a certain subtree of the Berkovich affine line. This variation is order-free and translation invariant, and it admits a Koksma inequality which, for a certain natural family of examples, is always sharper than Beer’s.

Taibleson variation is the simplest of these, but it is a coarse measure of irregularity and it does not admit a Koksma inequality.
