theoretical

Definition

In its abstract or theoretical sense, 'pure' describes an idea, concept, or reasoning that is considered in its most basic, essential, or ideal form, separate from practical application or real-world complications. It refers to something based on theory, logic, or principle rather than experience or utility. This usage is common in academic, philosophical, and scientific discussions to denote a conceptual model or a line of thought untainted by external, practical factors.
