The Essence Transfer
A carrier medium sent into aromatic matter to carry its soul back out. Volatile essences migrate down their gradients into oil, spirit, or water — presence transferred without the body.

CARRIEROIL / SPIRIT / WATER
KINETIC_PROFILE
Voltage is nearly irrelevant — warmth merely accelerates. The true current is solvent diffusion: aromatic molecules partitioning out of the source matrix into whichever carrier offers them better solubility.
VOLTAGE (V)MINIMAL / OPTIONAL
CURRENT (I)DIFFUSIVE (SOLVENT)
PARTITION_COEFFICIENT
K = C_carrier / C_sourceEquilibrium ratio — lipophilic essences favor oil carriers, polar essences favor water or ethanol.

MOLECULAR_INTERACTION
Volatile Partition Migration
Terpenes, capsaicinoids, and aromatic oils abandon ruptured cell structures for the surrounding carrier, obeying their partition coefficients. The infusion is complete when the gradient dies.
PartitionTerpene Transfer
Carrier Saturation Curve
Transfer velocity decays exponentially as the carrier approaches saturation — the first hour moves more essence than the next ten. Time beyond equilibrium extracts only bitterness.
