Being a living equation can mean being abstract existent?

an object/entity is composed of numbers, complex equations and be pure mathematics.

can it count as an abstract entity? and what concept would give someone to manipulate or destroy it.
 
Here, It comes from Doctor who where all tardis are the result of block-transfer computation, although the doctor adapted physical technology inferior to his tardis so I think it would scale better to Gallifrey's tardis

Neither now nor then, neither up nor down. Breezily unaware of any possibiility of hostility in its enviroment, a blue wooden box tumbled unscathed through the endless chaos of the space-time vortex. It was a box made of nnumbers, complex equations forming its wooden slats and glass panels, the sign on the top of which read Police Public Call Box.

Inside the box lay a small universe-opininions differed as to the meaning of 'small' in such a context-a microcosm block-transfered from mathematics itself. A living beat of time calculations and transdimensional equations, desinged to relate to its piolt via a symbiotic bond woven into that piolot's very being. This was how the Time Lords of Gallifrey commanded their ships-TARDIS's like this blue box.


However, the person who had engineered this TARDIS had fitted some subtle amendments to the basic design. Sevveral sections of the ship were not block transfers at all but built from actual materials from the real universe rather than dreamed out of the minds of Gallifrey's mathematicians.

These areas could bypass the symbiotic realtionship, allowing a physical, nut's-and-bolts approach to controlling the ship. Why a Time Lord should do such a thing, equipping such an exotic and sophisticated machine with crude manual controls, who could tell? Perhaps the ship's owner had becoem wary of overreliance on super-technologies. Perhaps he wished the TARDIS to be usable by a non-Gallifreyan, though such egalitarian thoughts rarely occcured to their Time Lords in their arrogent solitude.

Perhaps he just liked to drive occasionally to give the TARDIS the chance to take in the view.

Whatever the reason, in one such area of the TARDIS the ship's current piolt and crew were gathered.
