Chullin 123a Purposelessness (Part 1) - כיון שנקרע רובו טהורה (א)

From Matmonim: Daf Yomi by Rabbi David Lapin by R David Lapin.

Tumah occurs when the purpose of a human or an object to which he has given purpose, loses its capacity for purpose. Tumah contaminates the purpose (tzurah) of an object, not its sunstance (chommer).
