Casati and Dokic(as the authors of a specific philosophical theory): Two contemporary philosophers (Roberto Casati and Achille Varzi, and Jean-Baptiste Dokic) who developed theories about the nature of sounds and events.
Ontological: "Ontological" refers to questions about what actually exists or is real. It's concerned with the fundamental nature of being—asking "What kinds of things are there?" rather than "How do we know about them?" For example, an ontological question might be whether numbers, ideas, or God actually exist as real things, or if they're just human inventions.
distal theory(the main theory being discussed): A theory that says sounds are located far away at their source (like where a speaker is), rather than existing only in your ear or mind.
grounding(Drawn from contemporary metaphysics; proposed as potentially applicable to understanding the foundations of legality.): A metaphysical relation in which some entities or facts are more foundational than others, providing a hierarchical structure of the world.
