Let us suppose we superpose, one on the other, a hundred flat bobbins of a centimeter in thickness in such a way as to form a single solenoid one meter in height, and that the incoming and outgoing wires of each of them be connected with the contiguous bobbins exactly in the same way as they are in the consecutive sections or a dynamo-electric machine ring.

We can thus superpose several and opposite symmetrical structures, producing a polar north or south as desired, greatly in excess of that possible under a single or even double magnetization, and by carefully adjusting the proportion of opposing magnetisms, so that both polarities have the same external force, the rod will be at perfect external neutrality when free from torsion.

It is remarkable, also, that we are enabled to superpose and obtain the maximum effects on thin strips of iron from ¼ to ½ millimeter in thickness, while in thicker rods we have far less effect, being masked by the comparatively neutral state of the interior, the exterior molecules then reaching upon those of the interior, allowing them to complete in the interior their circle of attractions.

I never met with a precise statement of the manner in which the advocates of the fissure theory suppose the forces to have acted -- whether they assume a general elevation of the region, or a local elevation of distinct ridges; or whether they assume local subsidences after a general elevation, or whether they would superpose upon the general upheaval minor and local upheavals.

Being unwilling to bring forth from the molecular movement of the brain the representation of the world, or to superpose the representation on this movement as in the parallelist hypothesis, he has arrived at a theory, very ingenious but rather obscure, which consists in placing the image of the world outside the brain, this latter being reduced to a motor organ which executes the orders of the mind.

As Roberto Torretti points out, telecommunication companies use Fourier analysis to "literally superpose the electromagnetic renderings of many simultaneous long-distance messages in a single wave train that is echoed by satellite and then automatically analyzed at the destination exchange into its several components, each one of which is transmitted over a separate private telephone line ... the signal could also be split into other, meaningless components if the analysis were not guided by human interests and aims.".

I have shown that, if we have the portraits of two or more different persons, taken in the same aspect and under the same conditions of light and shade, and that if we put them into different optical lanterns converging on the same screen and carefully adjust them -- first, so as to bring them to the same scale, and, secondly, so as to superpose them as accurately as the conditions admit -- then the different faces will blend surprisingly well into a single countenance.

If we slightly diminish the magnetizing power, and magnetize the rod in a contrary direction, we may reduce it to zero, by the superposition of an exterior magnetism upon one of a contrary name existing at a greater depth; and if we continue this operation, gradually diminishing the force at each reversal, we can easily superpose ten or more distinct symmetrical arrangements, and, as their mutual attractions are satisfied in a shorter circle than in that produced by electricity, it is extremely difficult to destroy this formation when once produced.

With respect to the definitions of impossible world listed in the introduction to this entry, Rescher and Brandom's inconsistent-superposed worlds are, therefore, impossible worlds of the fourth kind, making both A and its negation true, for some A (just superpose, for instance, a possible world, w1, at which I am 1. 70m tall, and another possible world, w2, at which I am 1. 90m tall).
