Re: reification

I guess I should apologize for letting my privately intended note slip
into the list. It wasn't harmful, at least.

I view looking at hole transport in semi-conductors as being a useful
reification.

I view it as a useful model. Models are fundamentally unreal. They are
not reifications in any sense. You can't neologize with an extant word,
especially when you seem to want to pervert it.
