Strange, because I can describe to you the function of a thermostat by material interactions. That is, in fact, how we build them..and why they work -as- thermostats. The meaning of what sentence is immaterial? I think that the various meanings of any given sentence are very material..existing in the brains of those who take them to mean..whatever they take them to mean. That sensible bodies are numerically distinct is an artifact of how we have defined sensible bodies..itself an artifact of how we observe sensible bodies. Is this any more immaterial than the meaning of a sentence referenced a moment before? The value of pi is an unknown, and a numerical value, itself defined as an artifact of what we define as a circle....again, another example that is another form of the -same- example. I'm starting to think that you're intentionally bloating your numbers....lol....
Are thoughts (about this, that, or the other thing) the only immaterial thing, that you can think of?
So, now that we have all of those examples. How did you detect them. How did you detect them -as- immaterial things? How do you know that they are immaterial things? What is your instrumentation? What is your margin of error?
