We know that the number of radio and television impulses , sound_waves , ultra-violet rays , etc. , that may occupy the very same space , each solitary upon its own frequency , is infinite .
(James A. Ibers et al., "Proton magnetic resonance...)

The body , senses and brain , in_common_with all matter , have their counterpart on each of a countless number of frequencies .
The senses in each counterpart bear the impression only of phenomena that share its own frequency , whereas those upon all other frequencies are invisible , inaudible and intactible to them .
