Yes of course but the sound pressure + time is two dimensional

Yeah but all our senses include time

Right and therefore those senses are two dimensional

It’s one dimensional. One input (time) and one output (pressure). When you add stereo, it becomes two dimensional because there are two outputs (right pressure and left pressure).

Frequency and amplitude can be graphed with one line, can't it? http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-wavegraphs.htm

A one dimensional line would never change direction or osciallate because it has not other dimensions besides length. An x-y plot has 2 dimensions: x and y. Similarly, a sound wave has two dimensions amplitude (sound pressure) and time.

Why are you talking about sound in terms of spatial detentions?

My comments were in reply to a parent comment regarding the ear and hearing, which are spatial
