BUILDING BLOCK - Physical Business Agent

Description	Abstract Concept A Physical Business Agent is any identifiable Business Agent that exists in the physical universe. It is characterized by its ability to occupy space, possess mass, and interact with other Physical Business Agents through fundamental forces. Physical Business Agents are subject to the laws of physics and can be observed, measured, and analyzed using scientific methods. They can produce and consume Physical Outcome Events.
