Good point. This diagram is not an accurate picture of a track. Did you miss the part that said “So a real song would not look like my diagram; rather, it would look like a collection of splotches all mixed together.”?

My idea was to show that you have to contain your sounds within the limits of the box (panning, amplitude, and frequency). So any well-produced track will fill up this box as much as possible.

Thinking in terms of containing your sounds has nothing to do with making the song interesting or boring, in my opinion. It will, however, make your song sound fuller. The mistaken way to do this would be to section off each sound into its own narrow slot as shown in the diagram. Now that I think about it, maybe it’s time to ditch the diagram for something more accurate.

By the way, I listened to your music at theflashbulb.net, this stuff is great! Heed the words of Benn, everybody, cuz he’s got some kickass tunes.
