The other seventeen, melting and boiling among them, are named and not yet raised, so a consumer watching for one reads the parcel's phase or temperature instead                                                                                                                                                                             |

 | **A smoulder's smoke is pale**       | Tar leaving a surface cracks to soot and burns where it is hot, and **condenses to droplets where it is not** — a 523 K dew point, which is Clausius-Clapeyron at the loading a plume carries rather than levoglucosan's 658 K boiling point. Two rates that climb with temperature against one gate that closes with it, so a flame blackens its own smoke and a smoulder whitens its own with nothing choosing. `aerosolAt` sums every carried species in the **liquid phase**, so the field never names a species this library invented |
 | **A log dries, smokes and catches**  | The whole of `§21`, asserted: the surface pins at the boiling point while the core stays cold, gas comes off, and it lights. **A green log at the same fire does not**                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
