Matter can have four forms.
1) Outside only
2) Outside and Inside (type 1) only
3) Outside and Inside (type 2) only
4) Outside and two Insides (type 1 and 2)
Objects falling into each of these categories are:
1) singularities, fundamental particles..
2) Balloons, stomachs, hollow vessels, atoms..
3) Brains, Artificial Intelligence machines..
4) Animal Bodies..
Definitions:
"Inside (type 1)" is the space inside a material form (i.e. something that is hollow)
"Inside (type 2)" is mind, consciousness, identity (e.g, mind is 'inside' the brain)
Does any of this really matter?
