There are other implements, soft tools, more obscure devices that represent actions, but in themselves do not act. They sit between the cerebral and the physical. Inscriptions that direct actions. Text, lines, letters arranged as words, drawings, a series of interrelated characters arranged as codification for change, directions, plans, instructions. Commands that have been used for centuries to advise others how and where to alter the physical nature of the world. Strange runes, marks of engineering, chemistry, physics, measures of volumes, strengths, depths, pressures, voltages, speeds etc. Although these letters, marks remain detached from the tools of the act, they function as artifacts in another manner, there is still some implication of tactility, something to touch, handle.
