  1. superposition

    Superposition is a fundamental concept in physics and systems theory, generally defining the interaction of multiple components in a system to produce an outcome or result. It is the principle that the net response caused by two or more stimuli is the sum of the responses that would have been caused by each stimulus individually. This principle is observed in fields like quantum physics, where it refers to a property of wave functions, or in electronics, referring to voltage superposition in circuits. The specific interpretation may vary according to the perspective and rules of various fields of study.
