A Thing is a pattern in a mind. It is a set of attributes and boundary conditions by which it is distinguished from all other things according to various purposes.
The resolution of the purpose determines the resolution of the pattern.
Each thing has each of the physical attributes, a unique place in space, time, and scale.
All things have a physical correlate as a pattern in a mind (which is a metaphor for the patterns in the brain), but not all have an external referent. Sometimes an external referent is inaccurate.
