Semantic mixing
Right now I'm listening to a woodpecker working on one nearby tree, and a chainsaw working on another nearby tree. The two sounds are dissimilar in acoustical form, but they're mixing and conflating at a semantic level. My mind knows that both sounds have the same PURPOSE and tries to mix them.
It's sort of like hearing the same text in English and Spanish at the same time.
LIFE IS PURPOSE.
