not objectified

Objectification changes narrative forms of description from using adjectives to identify sensations, to using nouns for identifying particles. For example, we may report detecting an up-seed in lieu of seeing a white sensation.

Other sensations are not objectifed as seeds. Sometimes other sensations are loosely objectified as empty space, the void or a vacuum. But such experiences are not (yet) well distinguished. And, as Percy Bridgman has pointed out, considering empty space to be a physical object can lead to logical inconsistencies.1
