If you look at it with the analogy of vinyl records and digital representations of that music. You can reach a point in which you are quantizing something that equally can represent the original in a way that is not discernable in difference (maybe 192khz 32 bit float for some but still quantized).
You equally, hit limits in human perception and technology/physics limitations more so.
Maybe the universe is always N+1 with N being the best sampling rate known to man. Sure we can infer, but when you want to know the answer to the exact decimal point, sometimes you have to accept that 1/3 is 1/3 and never exactly 0.333333333333 however much recurring you have.
Hint: 44100 Hz is plenty to exceed any human's perceptual resolution.
That was my point, just because you can only perceive at one limit, does not mean there is nothing beyond that like Ultrasound. Anyhow, was analogy about perception and sample rates and what your measuring. Clearly didn't make it that clear and sorry for that.
And yet I can flash an LED that fast, then turn my head from side to side and see the modulation ....
You have an LED that flashes 44,100 times per second, and you can perceive this?
