CONT

Infrasignal is the uncontrolled part of any sender's communication. It is the more or less unconscious portion of the overall signal. Being thus beyond the direct control of the sender and relatively unmonitored by the sender, it is rather independent of the sender, free, as it were, to originate its own message.
