Associated with a particular location?
Is it related to civil engineering?
(Raak) Already answered that. See Tuj (above). Still not fictional.
(CdM) NO. Could be anywhere (on earth).
(SM) YES, could be, but not its most common use.
Geology?
Is the mineral connection metal?
(SM) NOT geology
(Raak) Very probably the answer is YES but strictly it doesn't have to be.
Does magnetism play a role?
Is it radioactive?
(CdM) Magnetism? NO
(RTG) Radioactive? NO.
Does the Abstractness have to do with mysticism, occultism, woo in general?
Is the mineral connection predominantly a single element?
Is it on the earth?
(Raak) NO, nothing that fancy.
(CdM) A single element? YES, or very nearly so.
(Bismarck) YES, practically all of them.
Is the mineral connection man-made?
(Raak) YES, man-made.
Are the mineral things especially valuable?
(Raak) Mineral bits valuable? NO, not in the least.
A Pearly King, and the sequins thereof?
Is the AOTC to do with things that attach things to things?
(Bismarck) Your imagination does you proud but you are still close to Absolute Zero. So, alas, computer, right for once, says NO.
(CdM) YES, very much so.
An artifical superintelligence that converts everything into paperclips?
(Raak) Microsoft shall not rule the world! So, fortunately, NO.
ISO 10642?
(Bismarck) Beth yw hwn?
It's a screw, Rosie.
(Bis) A remarkable deduction. But we need to know more.
A left-handed screw?
(though, on reflection (see what I did there?) I wouldn’t call that abstract)
The sinister CdM is the winner! Surely the thread's arse-about-facedness is abstract even if the contraption itself is just a lump of metal. Take this laevo-baton and run with it.
Again? I'm a bit swamped right now, tbh, and can't give this game the love and tender care it deserves. So I'm going to leave the baton lying right here for whoever wants to pick it up.
How about a collective consciousness round? :-)
Does it begin with P?
That is only valid in Tuj-space.

Is it heavier than a duck?

Does it have one or more sporrans?
It is heavier than a duck
It possesses zero sporrans

Is it alive?
Unique?
It's alive!
It's NOT unique!

Does it appear on a national flag?
[Flag] No, I don't think it does.
Does it live in the ocean?
It does not live in the ocean.

Might it take tea with the vicar?

Is it real?
It is (more precisely they are) unlikely to take tea with the vicar, but the possibility can’t be ruled out entirely.
It is (they are) real.

Are they associated with a particular location?
Not really, people think they are but that's more an urban myth.

Does it or do they have feathers?

They do have feathers! (audience amusement)

Is this associated with some profession?

[Profession] Yes
Are they predominantly female?
Predominantly female? Yes.
Are they Burlesque Dancers?
They are not burlesque dancers.
Are they British?
Originally yes, though not always native.

Is it the all the parrots that have been used in the famous Monty Python sketch?

Well yes it is! Though I'd worry about having a mind like that. Here is a baton which was used as a perch in the first version of the sketch, ignore the thing nailed to it. Now pick the next subject and infuse some life into this.
I knew it. Sort of. So the next one is VEGETABLE. Have at it.
Is it carnivorous?
Does it taste good?
[SM] Not carnivorous.
[CdM] Does taste good.
Processed in any way before consumption?
Is this vegetable a fruit?
Is it a berry?
[Ro] It is not processed before consumption, other than cutting it up.
[CdM] It is a fruit.
[SM] It is a berry.
Is it red?
Is it commercially grown in the UK?
[CdM] Probably best to say that it isn't red.
[Raak] Yes, they are farmed in Wisbech and other places.
Ah! Be it a Fenland fruit?
Gooseberry?
[C] If it's grown in Wisbech, I suppose it is.
Hint: not a native fruit of the swamp.
[RtG] Not a gooseberry.
Is it an anagram?
… of “ruble byre”?
[SM] Anagrams certainly exist.
[CdM] No.
… of “dryer rebel”?
of "monel"?
