What's the significance of "physical" song or image in your definition? Aren't your examples just 3rd party latent spaces, compressed as DCT coefficients in jpg/mp3, then re-projected through a lens of cochlear or retinal cells into another latent space of our brain, which makes it tickle? All artist human brains have been trained on the same media, after all.

When we zoom this far out in search of a comforting distinction, we encounter the opposite: all the latent spaces across all modalities that our training has produced, want to naturally merge into one.
