You'd have to have another list for it's physical properties... how would you do that for the immaterial?
A concept is immaterial, as you just listed. You can apply different demonstrable elements to make a cohesive argument. However, every one of the premises have to be true and internally consistent for the argument to be plausible.
I'd make an example, but I don't want to put words in your mouth.
