Their "Chemistry Engine" model (described starting at 39:55) includes Rule 3, which says that materials can't change another material's state. But what about a player (a material) eating an object like a poisonous mushroom (also a material) that makes them sick? Or eating a magical mushroom that heals them? It seems like there are cases where you would want to model materials changing another material's state.
