There's a strange relationship between Resistance, Noise (audible and above the auditory spectrum, such as RF), and the concept of Impedance...

I'll put a wager that future (or perhaps even current!) scientists are able to engineer complex waveforms such that the complex waveform effectively negates the resistance/noise/impedance -- effectively turning the resistor into a conductor -- but only for that specific complex waveform -- which very possibly would change over time...

Also, future (and perhaps current!) scientists should be able to use an electrical signal of known characteristics -- to determine exactly what the complex impedance of the resistor/resistance element/impedance element -- in a circuit is, exactly...

In other words, given one of the above things (complex waveform, complex impedance) -- derive what the other one is, from it...

You overcomplicated it, and somehow badly described LVDS at the same time.
