That's nothing to do with the letters 'P' and 'Q' being interpreted as

(Tony, my keyboard doesn't have a dot other than "." So my P.Q is
intended to mean the same as your P.Q)

Yes, there is a distinction based on whether the initial
'combining' of the two waveforms occurred inside a human ear or inside
an electronic device. But in both cases, the two waveforms were
combined in order to produce something that was in neither of the
original sources alone.

The site of combination has changed, or more correctly it has been
subdivided a bit; and yet the basic principle is unchanged. This makes
the illustration more universal to me, not less --- especially since the
illustration emphasizes the concept that something was manufactured that
was not 'in the air' according to the data received by any one of the
three microphones alone (none of the microphones heard or recorded the
entire event), and yet the differing result of P.Q and P+Q combination
was related in different but useful ways to what 'really' occurred at
the source.

Cheers,
Bill

(sorry for the extra adjectives, but I wanted to be as explicit as
possible)
