In the time domain, as Hugh Le Caine used to say, everything is amplitude (displacement). As I understand this, frequency and phase are derived from amplitude in [quantized] time.

stereo variable-area
(SVA) recording, encoding a two-channel audio signal as a pair of lines
running parallel with the film's direction of travel through the
projector. The lines change area (grow broader or narrower) depending on
the magnitude of the signal.
Again, what encodes the frequency/phase?
Thank you
