I do not necessarily disagree.
Theories of spacetime and matter's unit composition
How does a human differ in kind from a rock?
-Well both are well modelled as being slow processes (i.e. localized
states and events) in spacetime.
- A process is a particular kind of pattern of organization of some
subregion of spacetime.
- We share being made of similar kinds of matter
difference between a human and a rock
