A description isn't necessary to infer something. In fact, an
inference means a description was avoided.

One infers when one cannot know for sure, which implies that a
description is both unnecessary and proscribed.

What does spatially separated mean in this context? If you mean the
frequencies are coming from different points in space, I wouldn't have
thought that was significant. Or do you mean they are separated in a
"frequency space"?

Sounding at the same time, rather than one after another.

The latter. You hear them simultaneously, instead of consecutively.
