We don't need to know the physical coordinates of the thought "run!" for it to be useful, but it does have coordinates. A crude metaphor would be the actual list of circuits or even individual gates used in any given product of mechanical computation. A full description could even include the energy used at those coords.
Good point. And just because the sun is made of smaller objects doesn't mean that the sun isn't an object. The sun can be both an object and a set of smaller objects.
Just as with a process. A process can be both an object and a set of smaller objects that working together we call a 'process'.
So, when I said "you could say that a process is not an object because it's a set of objects." I was wrong. I retract that statement.
