Is there terminology for describing the most elementary ambiguities in a motif?

By a "motif" I mean any short repeating pattern of notes.

By "the most elementary ambiguities" I mean ambiguities describing which doesn't require talking about (specific) time signatures, specific notes, chords and rules of musical composition. I'll give examples.

Also, I realize that the things I'm talking about are usually not perceived as "ambiguities". But that's how I perceive them and I don't know a better term. In one form or another, those things are present in any motif which isn't just a single note played repeatedly. Those things are maximally trivial. But there still can be terminology for describing them. Especially given that some musical compositions emphasize those trivial things much more than others.

Example 1

The Next Episode by Dr. Dre, first 5 seconds. Piano cover (look at the left, blue notes). The main motif is just two repeating notes. But one of the notes is way shorter than another.

This already creates an ambiguity for me: the moment the notes are played can be treated as two events (because it's two notes played in succession) or as a single event (because one of the notes is very short). It's like a heartbeat. A heartbeat can be treated as a single event, but it produces two sounds ("lub-dub ... lub-dub ... lub-dub ... lub-dub").

To me, the two notes suggest different pulses. The short note suggests a faster pulse. The long note suggests a slower pulse. So the entire motif becomes ambiguous, unstable. Emotionally, I experience that ambiguity as a mix of confidence and anxiety. The same way the heartbeat feels both steady and anxious to me.

I guess it's the most elementary "elementary ambiguity", using just 2 notes of different length. Here's a couple of similar examples, but more complicated:

• King Of My Castle by Tiger Hifi (first 20 seconds). A single note is hit, but it produces multiple echoes. As a result, we can interpret it as a single event or as multiple events.
• Agent Orange by Depeche Mode, 0:15 - 0:38. Multiple notes can be interpreted as a single event.
• Piknik - Be Forever (first 30 seconds). We have a ~3 note motif played with pauses. But the notes change pitch (it can be seen in one guitar cover: fingers move higher and lower). So we can treat the whole motif as just a single unit of a greater pattern. Like a fractal. That's an ambiguity.

Example 2

Amo Bishop Roden by Boards Of Canada, e.g. the first 25 seconds (a piano cover, look at the right hand). Also Yume Nikki Ending (a piano tutorial). In both cases the main motif is played 1 note at a time, except for a brief moment where 2 notes are hit at the same time.

To me, that creates a feeling of temporal speeding up of the motif (because there's more events per second occurring). Which leads to an ambiguity.

The Avalanches Electricity (Dr. Rockit's Dirty Kiss), first 25 seconds, shows another very simple way to create an ambiguity. We mostly hear just a single instrument and the amount of notes it plays per second changes pretty drastically (1 note per ~6 seconds, 1 note per ~3 seconds, 4 notes per ~2 seconds), creating an ambiguous musical idea.

Example 3

Rapp Snitch Knishes / Coffin Nails by MF Doom (a piano tutorial). Or this piano version of Kerosene by Crystal Castles. Both songs have ambiguities related to the length of notes and the amount of notes played at the same time.

Losing It by Rush, first 5 seconds (a cover on glockenspiel). The motif can be split into two sets of notes. There's a switch between the two sets. But the switch doesn't happen immediately and fully. Which creates an ambiguity/instability.

Panic Attack by Dream Theater. There's a motif with a subtle change. Sometimes that change is emphasized with a sharp note. Other times it isn't. Which creates an ambiguity. You can see what I'm talking about by looking at the score sheet. Sometimes one of the highest notes has a "#" symbol (then it's more clearly heard) and sometimes it doesn't (then it's less clearly heard). As a result, when I listen to that music, the length of the whole pattern becomes ambiguous to me.
