Primitives are passed by value, i.e. a copy of the primitive itself is passed. Whereas for objects, the copy of the reference is passed, not the object itself.

Primitives are independent data types, i.e. there does not exist a hierarchy/super class for them. Whereas every Object is descendent of class "Object".

Java code.

That distinction is normal and natural as the prototypical nonsense that common language is 'thought', 'speech' and 'writing', namely what humans have and do — as if the world is beyond language and that language is mere reference.
