SOFT radiation:<br />

Adding any number of infinitely soft particles should not<br />

change the value of the obser vable<br />

COLLINEAR radiation:<br />

Splitting an existing particle up in<strong>to</strong> two comoving particles<br />

each with half the original momentum should not change<br />

the value of the obser vable<br />
