With a red circle, what it is for it to be the case is that it has particular em wavelengths/frequencies and spatial extensional relations--whatever we call it.
What is "it" that you think we call "waves", "wavelengths" and "frequencies"?
They are just abstract mathematical constructs in the framework of information theory and signal processing!

It's turtles all the way up/down (since you can't tell which way you are going)
