To put it another way.

If:

a primary AT is one that is NOT derived from other ATs

a secondary AT is one that IS derived from other ATs

Then you are not actually saying what a primary AT IS, and consequently
cannot establish what a secondary AT is NOT. There needs to be a reference
to something outside the circle which defines a primary AT, such as a signal
from a mic, pickup or synth. Then a secondary AT could be defined as a
signal from any other source.

A representation of sound it too vague, because both primary and secondary
ATs are representations of sound. It does not tell us WHICH representations
of sound are primary ATs.
