Technical Definition of Digital Summing?

Hi All - I'm looking for a technical definition here. Speaking strictly in terms of staying ITB - all digital ... do you think the term "Summing" means:

  1. A process that, despite its name, has a broader meaning that includes "all the math necessary" for a DAW to combine the tracks, buses, etc. at their various levels into a final mix ... or
  2. That as its name indicates, only includes those parts of the above that are purely "summing" in the mathematical, literal sense - that is ...addition operations only.

I'm interested in thoughts or any formal definitions anyone has or can point to.
