Rhythm of the Deep: Two-Tier Combinatorial Structure in Sperm Whale Codas Revealed by Acoustic Unit Induction
arXiv:2606.16084v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sperm-whale codas are conventionally described as recurring click-count and timing patterns. We show instead that their waveforms contain a two-tier combinatorial acoustic organization. Recurring click units combine with inter-click rhythm to form coda units, an
