I really don't like this math, no one actually stops at that point, you take the output, la, "0.9005" and re-run it

     (0.9005 × .1) × (1-.995) + (0.9005 × .9)

and again, and again, etc, point being that over time it does cycle the entire room, due to entropy, and then suddenly the differences start to stack up a bit, not a lot, but when one filter is letting 10x the particles through vs the other filter, it'll show

It doesn't show: the difference is too small to notice at every stage: https://www.jefftk.com/remaining-particles-by-minute-995-vs-...

Even comparing 95% vs 99.95% it's barely noticeable: https://www.jefftk.com/remaining-particles-by-minute-95-vs-9...
