Adds a general variability-and-endpoint principle to the existing measured-infusion Claim and Zettel.
The general infusion discussion precedes specific recipes and defines the control logic that governs them.
Infusion schedules are starting points rather than fixed laws: ingredient source, season, quantity, and extraction behavior vary, so the mixture should be tasted repeatedly and strained promptly at the desired sensory endpoint.
