> you mean more generally, not more precisely

No, I meant what I wrote. Another comment mentioned a chair [1]. A comfortable chair is not consumable, but it is rival. Rivalry is what makes pies and code economically distinct, not consumability.

Put another way, if you have access to infinite identical pies, they behave like code. They're still consumable. But not rival.
