Rectification
RECTIFICATION is a concept deeply rooted in the alchemical process of perfection, encompassing both a theoretical and practical application. In its core, rectification refers to the act of refining or purifying substances through a systematic and repetitive process, predominantly achieved through distillation. This process involves repeatedly distilling a substance to purify it to a high degree, ensuring the removal of impurities and achieving a more refined final product. Whether in the metaphysical realm of alchemy or in practical chemical processes, rectification serves as a fundamental methodology for achieving perfection and purity.
