When you use a pulse, p(t) = v(t) * i(t) shows the pulse going

look at continuous sinusoidal excitation in the time domain all
the information you need about power is provided without having
to resort to Pfwd and Prev.


Yes, but those steady-state shortcuts often lead to a distorted
view of reality. Exactly what magic happens at the instant when a
system goes from the transient state to steady-state?


I am unsure where you construed "steady-state" in the original
passage. It is, of course, in the time domain that one can explore
the non-steady state mature of the system.
