Alan Wexelblat asks:
Pardon me for being dense, but what is the world made up of, if not objects?


Objects are just an abstraction.  Take the terminal in front of you.
Is it an object?  Or, is it a collection of objects.  Or is the
terminal in conjunction with the floor of the room an objects.  Or, is
the collection of all the terminals in your office an object?

Objects are just abitrary sets of matter that we conceptually associate.
