I understand where you are coming from Cecil but let me turn your
statement around. How are you going to account for these additions and
subtractions in accepted equations by the masters that produce the
legitamacy of RLC or complex circuitry equeationd if they are known as
loss less and not a lumped item around which electromechanics thrive?

as cos phi or power factor but it is a variable and not a constant
which circuitry requires.
Remember only R is of consideration for the addition of power from each
element which provides flux unless you can quantasize reaction for me
as producing the emmision of flux other than a indication of the
direction it takes . Really Cecil I am trying to get people to think
about elements containing inherranr directional properties so that
uneeded radiation is harnessesd for useful purposes but they are
shutting their ears.
Art

Actually Art, adding reactance reduces the current in
the element thus *decreasing* losses below what a resonant
passive element would have. Pure reactance is lossless.

Seems to me that the reactance in the passive elements
provides a phase shift that causes destructive interference
in the desired places and constructive interference in
the desired places.

I came in late and thus apologize if anyone else has stated
this earlier.
