Primitive means "assumed necessarily in the TOE. With comp we don't assume particles, or
space, or time, usually assumed in physical theories.
I know what "primitive" means. The point of the question was what does "physical" mean. I
think it just means stuff we agree on the 3p sense - the dominant invariant measure across
1p experience. But by that definition numbers and arithmetic are "physical".
