How could something without property be a bearer of property?

How ?

Without properties, I don't see how it could implement a computation.

Could you give any reference of a text in physics which uses the
notion of primary matter?

Could you give just a physical fact or proposition which would
accredit the existence of primary matter?

What is the relation between primary matter and space, time, and
energy? Does primary matter have mass?
