... Ok.
That ... actually makes sense.
I must note that, not being a chemist or lab tech of any kind, my initial read of 'ideal substance' was platonic ideal... and I was going to ask some questions about that, but... not what you meant.
right. they are, as i understand it, chemically ideal, created of chemically “ideal” base ingredients, cooked at exacting temperatures and pressures, for exacting times. purified of anomalies at every step.
i imagine they taste like it too
Yeah haha!
I had to uh, frame shift my context for vocab... yes, that makes much more sense than... attempting to create a philosophically perfect example of a swiss chocolate, in a lab, hahaha!
How do we empirically measure a qualia, anyway?
