@Steve The warning only referred to the two argument types leading to two different types of calculations. I would expect f[x,y,z] /. {x->1,y->2,z->3} to give the same result as f[1,2,3]. Maybe I misunderstood you and you don't actually want these two to return different things. Otherwise using multiple argument "templates" is quite common in Mathematica.

Anyway, it may be more trouble than it's worth | |
| Mar 5, 2014 at 19:10 | comment | added | Steve | I appreciate your solution and also your warning. Even as I wrote this question I was cognizant of how shaky a foundation this problem rests on. I will probably spend a fair amount more time on this and perhaps come up with an alternate way of writing my theory altogether. | |
