Physical World

The domain of reality comprising all phenomena whose effects can, in principle, be detected.

The physical world is governed by Laws of Physics and Principles of Physics. It includes everything from particles to emergent phenomena. Abstract entities are real but not physical — their defining attributes are independent of physical instantiation.
