IAN: That's a good example, and is the point
I've been making, which is that the same thing
(such as a transfer of money) as two attributes,
a positive and a negative. Since both attribute
are equal but opposite, they sum to zero. It is
in this way that the net Work (F*d*cos(theta))
in a closed system is always equal to zero.
