The sulphur example claims that two metals remain opposed within one regulus, divided as by a wall, and compares this with oil keeping two waters apart. Murus makes separation a maintained partition rather than simple distance. The analogy explains the source’s claim of a boundary-forming agent; it is not independent proof that every described metallic mixture behaves this way.
