&gt; &gt; &gt; Thus the leaves of the herb WaggaWagga might have a coodinate weight

&gt; &gt; &gt; root of the UmbaUmba plant might have a value of (2, 9, -10).  Mix
&gt; &gt; &gt; then together with GooGoo mud (0, 0, 2), and you get a substance (-3,

&gt; But WaggaWagga + WaggaWagga + WaggaWagga = (-15,24,9).
&gt; You prolly need to factor out like components or include a quantitative

Yes. You'd need to track quantity and concentration of substances, to
avoid problems like this - it shouldnt mix like things, just put them
together in a little heap to say hello, and munge their concentrations.

&gt; It does handle alkaline-acid nicely.

And reactivity (if generalised).

&gt; Would mixing 1000 sleeping pills and 1000 pep pills factor out to zero
&gt; or will other nasty side-effects kick in. =)

Aha. Another interesting concept. Other than the fact you'd be a walking
marraca?
