Boltzmann superposition principle

The Boltzmann superposition principle states that in a linear system, the response to multiple stimuli applied at different times is the sum of the responses to each individual stimulus. Essentially, if you know how the system reacts to a single input, you can predict its behavior to complex, combined inputs by adding up these individual responses. This principle is commonly used in fields like mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermal analysis to understand how systems behave under various influences, assuming their responses are proportional and additive over time.
