> Being a process doesn't preclude something from being an entity

In a tortured semantics sense sure, but in a practical sense they refer to different types of things.

My experience and intuition beg to differ. As I see it, much of our civilization progress is based on this redefinition of processes as entities, with some examples being: a sports team, a mathematical function, a loan, a company, a computer program and even the idea of a civilization itself.
