@spacyoddity @jonny haha I'm going to get in trouble with my phonetics teachers
... But i think I'm making the argument that a phoneme stream can be considered target points for some (but often not all) of the articulators. Vowels are usually "turn on laryngeal action" and probably also "tongue position x,y", but consonants are more about "articulator z executes action a"
This is a related idea to treating each phoneme as a feature bundle, but not the same idea
