   • 1935, Carl Murchison, Warder Clyde Allee, A Handbook of Social Psychology - Part 3, page 41:

     Disoperation includes the entire range of unfavorable coactions from complete destruction at one extreme to competitions of minor intensity and slight disadvantage at the other.

   • 1975, Henryk Orloś, Forest Fungi against the Background of Environment:

     When we discuss relations between fungi and other plants in the first place we should establish whether cooperation, disoperation or competition occur here [ 81 ].

   • 1980, Adam Apple, A Megasynthesis, page 332:

     Along the continuum of behavior from total disoperation to total cooperation, we must make another quantum leap since our established modes and mad emphasis on competition has become disoperative.

   • 2013, Sas Mays, Libraries, Literatures, and Archives, page 134:

     The 125-year-long discourse around an institution's experience of organising fiction has a weight and a traction of its own: it makes a history—or, rather, a perpetual prehistory—of the disoperation of classification for the arrangement of fiction, a disoperation which isolates fiction classification from modern precepts of rationality, preventing its escape from its own prehistorical conditions.
