    … 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?
