They are historic and work very well.

The only tiny problem is that the definitions are wrong.

Please give us the correct definitions. In an earlier post you said:

'"DC" is simply the first (or "offset" term in the Fourier expression of
any repetitive waveform.

"AC" are all of the remaining components.'

But then in your next post you said:

'"AC" or "DC" are gross and meaningless oversimplifications.'

Does this comment apply to your own earlier definitions? Are you saying that even you
can't give definitions to AC and DC that aren't "gross and meaningless
oversimplifications"?
