My apologies for the earlier formatting error. Basically, objects on one level of organization (fundamental particles) should only interact in any significant sense with objects on the same level, not with mental representations of fundamental particles or macroscopic blocks of matter. There *are* exceptions to this (eg, an errant lepton causes quantum physicists to jump for joy), but they require some sort of complex mechanism (in the Kolmogorov sense) to carry information into a different organizational level.
