[ Sound information bearing things ]
A specialization of both
audible sound
and
information bearing wave propagation
. Each instance of
sound information bearing thing
is an sound which is audible by, and thereby capable of providing information to, an
Agent
. (This information need not necessarily be in propositional form.) This collection does not include
InformationBearingWavePropagations
that require the use of some sort of electronic device to be rendered in the form of audible sound; thus
radio wave
is not a specialization. Genuine specializations include
music
and
animal utterance
. Note that, despite the use of the word `Thing' in the name of this constant, it refers to the sound alone, not to the thing that makes the sound (e.g. if one's CD player is pumping out music, the
sound information bearing thing
is the
music
, not the player). Thus, no one thing can be an instance of both
sound information bearing thing
and
visual information source
(e.g.).
