I'll tentatively propose moving, ageing and interacting.

Chris ...

you tentatively have 2 of the three:

moving and ageing

Exerting gravitational attraction?

I had thought of gravitating, but foolishly decided that wasn't true. But I was being silly: even zero mass particles gravitate.

I'm not sure that it's ageing is good, as all fundamental particles are identical; so not sure that they really age.

... I meant of the same type. e.g. all electrons are intrinsically identical.

think a little higher than sub-atomic, atomic, or molecular ... more along the line of touchable objects

It must apply to the fundamental particles too.

Occupying space.

it certainly applies to the particles, i just thought it might steer someone in the wrong direction ...

Chris got all three:

Occupying space
Ageing
Moving

LOL. I was about to retract ageing as light doesn't age (from it'sown perspective).

I am being slipshod. Light doesn't age from our perspective.

I've also only just noticed that you had stated which two I'd got earlier.

If ageing is the passage of time ... as light spreads from its source, isn't it technically older with each passing time unit

If you could attach a clock to a photon, it wouldn't tick - ever.

... it does seem paradoxical.
