I would differ with you on this. Even a process has attributes, and in this way it can be seen as an object. Processes are just a subset of objects. Actually, in my data modeling, I have only objects. I have yet to see anything that looks otherwise.

Maybe someone, or you, can give me a measurable to show that a process can fall outside the sphere of objects. Or maybe you all agree and the conversation ends.
