The earliest impressions which the mind can assimilate are the undecomposable sensations produced by resistance, light, sound, etc. From Wordnik.com. [Essays on Education and Kindred Subjects Everyman's Library] Reference
Some silicates are completely decomposed by such treatment; but it saves time (unless one is sure that no undecomposable silicate is present) to treat these in the same way as the others. From Wordnik.com. [A Text-book of Assaying: For the Use of Those Connected with Mines.] Reference
Where possible, this is of course valuable, but mathematical research is often almost uniquely undecomposable, because the nature of the problem is that it's solution is unknown and hence undecomposable. From Wordnik.com. [Machine Learning (Theory)] Reference
The effects which take place when a succession of conducting decomposable and undecomposable substances are placed in the electric circuit, as, for instance, of wires and solutions, or of air and solutions. From Wordnik.com. [Experimental Researches in Electricity, Volume 1] Reference
Putting aside the muscular sense, which had not come into view in Hume's time, the questions arise whether these are all the simple undecomposable materials of thought? or whether others exist of which Hume takes no cognizance. From Wordnik.com. [Hume (English Men of Letters Series)] Reference
So far as our knowledge extends, there are about sixty-six of these undecomposable bodies, of which about one half occurs in but exceedingly minute quantities, and a considerable number of the others exists in comparatively small amounts.

Since those early days of the century when the electric battery performed its miracles and seemingly reached its limitations in the hands of Davy, many new elementary substances have been discovered, but no single element has been displaced from its position as an undecomposable body.

"common acceptation" -- "as meaning any cognition reached by an undecomposable mental act.". From Wordnik.com. [Nature Mysticism] Reference
In the electro-tonic state the homogeneous particles of matter appear to have assumed a regular but forced electrical arrangement in the direction of the current, which if the matter be undecomposable, produces, when relieved, a return current; but in decomposable matter this forced state may be sufficient to make an elementary particle leave its companion, with which it is in a constrained condition, and associate with the neighbouring similar particle, in relation to which it is in a more natural condition, the forced electrical arrangement being itself discharged or relieved, at the same time, as effectually as if it had been freed from induction.
