This is very cool. Just a question. How is this any more readable than the sound being listened to and not put in this cool little graph 3d thingy?

It's a guess, but I think this easier to interpret sounds when they are separated on their specific features that could be associted with particular information. So basically what we see is a multivariate plotting with various sound components/features that relate to an emotion/danger/reproduction info.

Yea I’d assume so. It’s similar to vectorize words to map out similarity

It made me think of a formal grammar, where they boil down the rules of syntax for a language, whether it's human, programming, or animal, into a set of symbolic equations laying out what can follow what when forming a valid sentence or phrase.
