Here are some fundamental characteristics of objects:
- Each object has a concrete position in space, which is constant and cannot be changed. Having a position or coordinate means also object existence. Objects are created with some position and then die in the same position.
- Objects exhibit (represent) themselves in other contexts (parts of the spaces) indirectly via references (which are not objects because do have concrete position in space). Thus we never know what an object is in reality because the only thing we have is a reference.
- In addition to existence objects have their semantics, which is defined as a combination of other objects, which are normally represented by reference. Thus semantically an object is simply a combination of other objects.
- Objects are indivisible things just because they have a concrete position in space. We cannot separate their semantic constituents. The only thing that can be separated is object reference. Moreover, the fact that several objects have one and the same coordinate makes them a new object. In other words, an ability of parts to be placed in one point underlies the mechanism of object construction.
