at least in my understanding (which I think is pretty standard), the important distinction between polyrhythm and other things that people often call "polyrhythm" is that polyrhythm happens in a single time frame. So, let's say you have one measure of 4/4 at 60bpm. If you divide that same amount of time (4 seconds) into 5 equal pulses, you create a 5:4 polyrhythm. Just like dividing a circle into different numbers of equal-sized triangles.
