The apple is identified by non-physical objects as a physical object.

No, my intention, from the start, was to make a riddle of the claim that
physical objects have identity.

Maths does not represent the behaviour of its objects.

We can pin it down. We can say that there is a framework for
establishing objects which means establishing their behaviour.

The objective reality is certain. That material objects do not vanish
and appear is certain.

It's not so much a variable, as a framework for variables.

I do not think that an algorithm, complex or not, can identify a
life-object.
