Above lies the semantic nonsense. You've got 2 amps, alternating in
both directions, plus another two amps that alternate in both
directions, which equals 4 amps alternating in both directions. The
number 4 is only true at a particular location and instant of time.

Of course, when both are at zero degrees. That's exactly what I said.

When the two component phasors are at 180 degrees, they
and their sum are flowing in the opposite direction.

Semantic nonsense, plus Pi radians.

You still don't accept the fact that the sign of the cosine of the phase
angle is related to one of two possible directions in a transmission line.
Only real currents exist, Jim, and they are forced to flow in one of two
directions. The imaginary portion of the current is imaginary and doesn't
exist in the reality in which I live. Your reality may vary. Don't like
that fact? Then call it "nonsense".
