I don't know what this is.
Here's a (somewhat ghetto) video that describes runout. Most of the info on runout is in the second half of the video. It's only 1:30, so it's a quick video. Long story short, lateral runout is the side-to-side movement of the rotor as it is spun. Excessive lateral runout can cause a pedal pulsation.

Again, there are issues other than a "warped" rotor that can cause a pedal pulsation. For example, it could be caused by runout in the hub/rotor assembly, which isn't necessarily due to a warped rotor. Or, it could be caused by uneven pad deposits on the rotor.
Here's another video made by someone. It's poorly shot, but it shows how they measured runout and noted it was out of spec. The person then cleaned the hub. After that, the rotor runout was in spec.

Here's the Harbor Freight tool used to check the runout in the last video.

I'm not saying you're wrong about the rotors being warped, but there are other things to check before saying "well, I guess the rotors are warped AGAIN." It seems to make sense that the issue wouldn't be the pads or rotors, since it seems to keep coming back after you replace the brakes.
