Is There a Separation Between Ideas and Things?

The biggest blockage for me in understanding this text is this mixing together of ideational constitution and physical causation. And by talking about them consistently as one sort of thing, this just makes it so like you've just lost me. But yet, lator thinks that both ideas and material things are hybrids. He does mix those two things together like ideas are things, words are things. Yet, that one's called aramis, or the love of technology. So you can read that one right after you get through cuddling this one close to your chest.
