You're being obnoxiously literal with this. Words typically lead to action but action is the stronger proof. They don't need to be literally "advocating" anything if they're already showing it through action.

Probably these would be harmonic units. Unfortunately notes aren't just characters in this. There's also voice leading, and so harmony "words" run into each other and can't be mutually exclusively tokenized. The bet
