Using these terms to describe "4'33" doesn't expand the concept of music, it just makes "music" such a vague term that it becomes meaningless. If that's the goal, then congratulations to John Cage for accomplishing absolutely nothing.
As an experiment, it's cool, but calling it music is pretentious nonsense.
