Ladder

Lumped element — the ladder

One essay so far against this idea. A ladder is the distinct arguments that stand against one idea, and this one has room to grow.

    Kirchhoff's own frequency

    The current law says the current entering a node equals the current leaving it at the same instant, which assumes the signal crosses the circuit in no time. It crosses at about two-thirds the speed of light, so the law has a frequency of its own — set by nothing but the physical size of the board.
