I am not concerned about the equation side. I am concerned about how
the capacitances in parallel in add up. For comparison I shall say, the
value of two resistances in series is the sum of te two resistance
since the voltage supplied to the resistors will distribute itself
between both of them.


** Forget making false comparisons with resistors or inductors.

Caps have the unique ability to store energy in isolation.



And inductors don't?

Not after the charging source is disconnected, I think.
