while the PdDefinitions wiki is definitely a good start, in it's current state it probably adds more shadow than light here (mainly because of quotes without context)
i guess matju was referring to that. (this doesn't mean that one shouldn't go and add/fix/improve it)
Well, this defintion comes from the "object boxes" section, not message boxes or messages. There is no discussion of messages in the section where that is defined. But that's a minor detail.

yes, that's the problem with the missing context. an atom is agnostic of whether it appears in a message or an object.saying that an atom either a number or a symbol is just wrong (even if miller himself seems to indicate this in http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Pd_documentation/x2.htm#s3.1 )
