Instance Specification Physical = Spatial Extension (Cahoone)
"What is the physical? ... A famous option is Descartes' definition of materiality ... as spatial extension... In this context it is useful to distinguish Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac, and Boltzmann-Mazwell statistics, three different mathematics we use to estimate the behavior of large collections of little things... waves and fields do not take up space in the sense of excluding other things from space. Spatial exclusiveness is characteristic of fermionic matter. Fields and waves are not spatially bounded either; they extend indefinitely."
