StereoMath (2024) presents its pitch-for-vertical-position mapping as an uncited, novel contribution

In its implementation section (§4.1, "Spatial Sound," addressing design goal DG1), StereoMath's own text frames the mechanism as original: "Arguably some of our most important innovations come from our spatial sound and spatial navigation... We also change the pitch to match the vertical up/down location. In our co-design sessions, this improved ease of comprehension, and provided a novel experience that was previously not commonly found elsewhere." No citation is attached to this passage, either here or at its first mention (design goal DG1, §3.2) — this is the paper's own novelty framing for the exact pitch mapping that AsTeR implemented three decades earlier.

Read alongside the paper's one, generic citation of Raman's Emacspeak, the two passages are not in tension — they are about different sources, in different places. The paper credits the sonification genre broadly while separately and explicitly claiming the specific pitch-for-vertical mechanism as its own, with no attribution at that point and no mention of AsTeR anywhere in the paper. This is the evidence that resolves observation-math-sonification-pitch-for-vertical-recurred-1994-2024 toward independent rediscovery rather than acknowledged lineage; see question-does-stereomath-2024-cite-aster-emacspeak-pitch-mapping-prior-art for the closed question thread.
