In defence of jfred's steam engine, "physical" force and "physical" function are as abstract as "time" and "solid". They are fake human inventions to deal with our stationary macro world. Sure, the primary manipulations by people have been in pushing electrons and photons around, but the "physical", "solid" and "material" are as much a function of the quantum world as photons and electrons. They all disappear into a fuzzy world of distant interaction.

I don't think there is any reason to differentiate between "physical", "electron" and "photons" when you get really small. There is just a greater need for more cunning. How big is a "mind". Brain sized? Or can it be smaller?

Please don't be too tempted by that anyone = no personal comments!! Or I'll send over a BIG thing and blow you up. It is hot today, and I just made it up, but it sounds good. But a steam engine for power supply in my cdmaOne phone doesn't sound good.
