 * Stuff
 * Object types
 * Measures of objects

Stuff
 * Note that this is a guideline, not 100% derivation of fact (not a driver). There is no law that states that nature is simple. If someone holds an equally valid theory to yours, you may use Occam to suggest, but you cannot justly nag indefinitely.

Object types
 * Assumptions
 * Established objects (held as true by all parties)
 * Constructed system/theory

Possible measures of objects
 * Count
 * Layers (up from a layer common between the contestants)
 * Laws (phenomena, equations, distinctable behavioral algorithms)
 * Unique count
