I described it as a pseudo-physical object with some reason - the
only case of bits broken off on is the Shattered Sphere, which
may be mostly mythical.  It makes most sense to consider it a
boundary condition, which just appears to be an object.

But, this is a magical universe, so a boundary condition might
have bits chipped off it!

And, still remain whole and unbroken!
