pure form
Untainted conceptual state
Pure form refers to the essential, abstract structure of something stripped of content, context, or practical application.
In philosophy and aesthetics, it describes form considered independently of what it represents: The painting approaches pure form—shapes and colors without recognizable subjects.
In logic or mathematics, pure form means the structural relationships apart from any particular instances: The syllogism in its pure form.
More loosely, something in its pure form is that thing without modification or dilution: capitalism in its pure form, the drug in its pure form.
