Translating a science fiction story. I am not quite sure about the term вещественность in this context. I am looking any advice and suggestions from my colleagues.
Here's the context:
Андре покоится во тьме капсулы, как было уже много раз до этого. Он мог бы использовать вместо нее симуляцию. Можно было не только вызвать неотличимые первичные ощущения, но и изменить память, чтобы полностью отдаться обману. Однако для Андре была важна ***вещественность*** капсулы, воды, маски.
Thanks in advance!

actual (physical) presence
Actual Presence: It simply means when other individuals are physically present, e.g., behaving in a group of friends. Imagined Presence: It means when an individual imagines the presence of others who are not physically and actually present.
I believe that this description originally coming from social psychology can be rightfully applied to the subject at hand.
