I’ve defined the binary “parallel” operator as: ∥(a::Number,b::Number) = 1/(1/a+1/b) This operation is very common in electronics, and is related to the harmonic mean. I’ve also overloaded it with ∥(a::Component,b::Component) to allow the paralleling of a custom data structure I created. It work…

Okay, I think I’ve found a solution. :wink: Instead of overloading the parallel operator \parallel to return something non-Boolean, I’ve realized that the notation I seek exists so I’ve chosen to call my harmonic sum +_p where p=-1. This is similar to the notation for S_p sum of powers, L_p norms,…
