Question for any physicists here:
A waveform is a 1D informational element. It has one degree of freedom to oscillate at a given frequency over time t.
At any given range of time, this waveform transmitted down a wire or through the air represents a composite of not just sine waves, but modulated sine waves.
But how can just one solitary modulated wave carry multiple carrier frequencies to contain unique “sub-modulated" channels of A/V information and form a single composite waveform, but also maintain discrete addressability of A/V information with only 1 degree of informational freedom in that single wave at any Δt? If we take two modulated waves and combine them, we get a third unique modulated wave. How do we know how many modulated waves comprise that final wave, and which of those modulated “wavelings” correlate to a clarinet sound, a conversation, a dog bark, or one or more of the lines on a TV display?
