Actually, I am struggling to understand your concepts which
you appear somewhat incapable of putting into words, hence
the total absence of anything technical in your posting.

Is energy-passing-a-point "power" as defined by the IEEE
Dictionary? Does an EM wave possesses ExH amount of power
as the technical references assert?

So, since we've obviously been talking about the steady state, what's
with all the weird questions about 'how the wave knows' what's going to
happen in the future?

Steady-state had a beginning and it will have an end. It
cannot be analyzed without knowing what happened in the
beginning and what will happen in the end. Steady-state
is the rug under which you and others try to sweep the
laws of physics including the conservation of energy
principle. I'm doing what I can to call your bluff.
