At finite height or stage count, distillation products retain residual components; approaching a perfectly pure split drives the process toward limiting conditions and impractical equipment or energy demands.
Whiskey intentionally preserves selected non-ethanol compounds, so technical impurity is not equivalent to sensory or quality defect.
This grounds explanations of why distillate contains a mixture of volatile compounds and why operational targets are finite separations.
Created after duplicate search during the full-source processing of Vogelpohl (2021). Developing until independently corroborated by another technical source. Fresh SRC-341 audit: Fireman is retained as attributed practitioner context, not independent validation of this mechanism. The supplied224-page review found material arithmetic, unit, biological and engineering errors; use the other linked technical sources for the mechanism.

Atomic idea
At finite height or stage count, distillation products retain residual components; approaching a perfectly pure split drives the process toward limiting conditions and impractical equipment or energy demands.
Reasoning
This grounds explanations of why distillate contains a mixture of volatile compounds and why operating targets are finite separations.
Provenance
Vogelpohl’s Distillation: The Theory supplies the current technical provenance through LIT-109 and its verified excerpts. The node remains Developing until another independent technical source corroborates it.
Counterpoint and limit
Whiskey intentionally preserves selected non-ethanol compounds, so technical impurity is not equivalent to sensory or quality defect.
