The dichotomy to tangible and intangible is also fyzzy in a certain
sense. We can start with naturalism: everything that exists in
whatever way is physical. But physical can be divided into two
categories: concrete/tangible/not mental and
abstract/intangible/mental. The dichotomy is not absolute in the sense
that it is agent-related at least in principle. In principle, a
human's thought could be tangible to a certain sort of an agent. But
this is only in principle; the dichotomy works very well in practice. (03)
