There's another one of your contradictions. "Cancellation (of two waves)
precludes their existance ..."??? How can two waves cancel if they never
existed? Once again, you are confusing cause and effect. You are asserting
an effect caused by itself. That won't fly.


:-) Sorry, Cecil. It's a fact.

Cancellation
requires at least two waves.


:-) Cancellation requires zero waves You can't have it both ways..

Maxwell's equations contain partial differentials
for dx, dy, dz, and dt.


Yes they do, and for any set of finite values of those variables for two
superposed functions of equal amplitude an opposite phase, the solution is
zero. You can write the functions for the two waves and prove they cannot
exist.


You seem incapable of conceiving of canceling wavefronts that exist for

only
a dt of time.


Since the functions cancel during that dt of time as well as any other
length of time, you're right.
..
I, OTOH, am completely incapable of conceiving of the cancellation
of two waves that never existed.


Not my problem.
