A body is any collection of parts that have organ-ized together into a collective whole. Some bodies are organ-ized by executive action (organ-ized by a few at "the top") while others are entirely self-organ-ized (direct democracy: of the organs, by the organs, for the organs).
Some examples of bodies are: a human body, a nation state, a political party, a rotary club, a sewage water treatment facility, a comic book, a comic book store, a comic book subreddit, moldy cheese.
A concept body is an immaterial body comprised of concepts: smaller concepts that make up a larger concept.
A Phantom Concept Body (PCB) is an immaterial body, a digital enfleshment, composed of concepts whose larger concept is contingent, open, and adaptable and whose effects are produced indirectly through haunting. A PCB sets up expectations of being a standard, material body, but produces effects by its uncanny non-materiality and provisionality. —MMHTT
