Webel Twin Pattern: A LogicalProcess may only act on a PhysicalEntity via a PhysicalProcess

Where a «process» PhysicalProcess is mappable but not itself «physical» (because it has no mass).

Processes won't be addressed further in any detail in this trail.

Notes
[POLICY]{STRICT} Webel Twin Pattern: A DigitalTwin must model processes and the entities they act on separately.
[POLICY]{STRICT} Webel Twin Pattern: A «digital» DigitalEntity (a.k.a. @Entity) encapsulates strictly geometrical, spatial, and material aspects of a «physical» PhysicalEntity only. BY DEFINITION of this pattern it DOES NOT encapsulate processes!
[POLICY]{STRICT} Webel Twin Pattern: A LogicalProcess may only act on a PhysicalEntity via a PhysicalProcess
Snippets (quotes/extracts)
 Digital twins are dynamic, data driven, multi-dimensional digital replicas of a physical entity.
 They encompass potential or actual physical assets, processes, people, places, systems, devices and the natural environment.
 In contrast to traditional digital models, digital twins can connect with the physical ‘twin’ they model, changing alongside the physical system via real-time sensors and actuators.
