Abstract concepts exist and they aren't physical. In Whitehead's philosophy physical and mental poles are aspects of every real being(actual entities), but are not real beings themselves.

>Thus an electron within a living body is different from an electron outside it, by reason of the plan of the body; the electron blindly runs either within or without the body; but it runs within the body in accordance with its character within the body; that is to say, in accordance with the general plan of the body, and this plan includes the mental state. -Alfred North Whitehead
