We consider only the set $M$ of a.e. essentially locally bounded measurable functions $[0, 1] \to \mathbb R$. Here $m(S)$ denotes the Lebesgue measure of $S$.

Let $f$ be measurable. For every $e$ in $(0, 1]$, by Lusin’s theorem, we can write our measurable function as continuous on $[0, 1]-H$, and horrid on a set $H$ of measure $e$. How does “horrid” vary with $e$?

One way to quantify “horrid” is to ask how discontinuous the function is on $H$. Inspired by this, we calculate the average pointwise oscillation of the function of $H$. Formally this is the integral of the essential oscillation of $f$ on $H$ divided by $m(H)$. Since oscillation is upper semi continuous, it is integrable. Further we take the infimum over all such $H$ of measure less than or equal to $e$.

Thus 
$$
O(f, e) \mathrel{:=} \inf_{\substack{m(H) \le e,\\ f\in C^0[0, 1] \setminus H}}\left\{\ \frac{1}{m(H)} \int\limits_{x \in H} \lim_{d \to 0}\ \inf_{m(G) = 0} \sup_{\substack{y, z \in B_d (x)\setminus G}} \lvert f(y) - f(z)\rvert\mathrm{d}x\right\}.
$$

The end result is that for every $e$, we get a function $O(f): (0, 1] \to [0, \infty) $ describing how horrible the discontinuity behaviour is on the best behaved $H$ we can find.

**Question:**

Call a function $f$ *tame* if $O(f, e) = 0$ for all $e$. Is it true that a function is tame iff it agrees a.e. with a function that is continuous a.e.?
