real world applications of direct sums


Book about applied linear algebra to the 3D world?What are some applications of Trigonometry?Surprising applications of cohomologySpace is direct sum of subspaces - propostion conditions giving me problemsApplications of Linear Algebra in software engineering.Why is matrix multiplication useful?Applications of valuation ringsExamples of non-commutative rings in natureAre there any Applications of Abstract Algebra in Engineering?History and connecting math to real world

I understand how direct sums work and how they can be useful in proving certain conditional statements in linear algebra but it seems to me that direct sums are only useful in abstract settings. I was wondering if there are any real world applications for direct sums and if so, is there anywhere where I can read more about those applications since I was having trouble finding any.

    It would be impossible to construct any simple example of 2D or higher dimensional vector space without direct sum. Is this a good enough (purely mathematical) reason to consider direct sum?

    hmmm... I didn't consider that. So then creating a 4d puzzle game like Miegakure (miegakure.com/) would be impossible without use of direct sums. That's cool!

    I mean, $Bbb R^2$ is constructed as $Bbb RoplusBbb R$, $Bbb R^3$ is constructed as $Bbb RoplusBbb RoplusBbb R$, and so on. It is not like higher dimensions are not possible, but is that we could not demonstrate their existence if we restrict the tools we use. And by the tools, I mean direct sum.

    How about block matrices? A 2x2 block matrix represents an operator $A: V_1 oplus V_2 to W_1 oplus W_2$, with each block representing some component $A_{ij}: V_j to W_i$. Any time you see a block matrix, there is a direct sum behind the scenes.
