This paradigm treats the loudspeaker array as an ensemble of autonomous synthesis agents . Spatiality is not a trajectory through a coordinate system, but an emergent property of parallel signals.

Fundamental Concepts

Independent Agency: Each channel runs a discrete instance of a process (e.g., a synth engine) with unique parameters.
Spatial Texture: The gestalt arises from the internal morphology and decorrelation between channels .
Topological Complexity: The space is defined by the relationship between discrete points of synthesis rather than virtual acoustic scenes.
