I don't see a problem. Why would things have to be the same 'substance' in order to interact?
Well it does kinda depend on your definition of substance. But, as far as definitions of "substance" go, I like drawing the line at "must interact with physical reality."
You are pretty empirically-minded, Poly, so think about it. If there IS some kind of thing out there that doesn't interact with physical matter or energy at all, it may as well not exist. We'll never sense it. We'll never know it. And if we do somehow sense it or detect it- Boom. That's interaction.
It makes sense to define substance as something that MUST interact with physical matter or energy.
