Not really. A sound can be described by a one or more [time, volume, frequency] triples. I think the author's use of the word "dimensions" is perfectly suited.

- jimmaswell 12y agoFrequency is just periodic variation in volume so it doesn't really belong on that list as if it's a separate thing and not an emergent property
- sharpneli 12y agoThey are complementary. You can fully describe sound with either function of volume in time or complex amplitude (So normal amplitude + phase) in frequency. So you could just as easily say the volume is emergent property of the frequency. Regardless it's an 1 dimensional function.
