Abstract The natural meaning attached to the resultant of two continuously differentiable motions (flows) is the motion obtained by adding their velocities, but when velocities are not meaningful, there is no predetermined idea of what a resultant ought to be. The present work provides a pair of natural axioms to be satisfied by any motion called a resultant, and it is shown that for motions that are in some sense parallel, this definition of a resultant is the most general one possible.
