The socially defined behavior of electronic components.
What it means to be a 100 Ω resistor is inherently nebulous, and negotiated and renegotiated between manufacturers and customers. By @robamacl http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ram/art/essay/components/ …

This can lead you mis-take nebulosity as being just a matter of ambiguity of language or other representations; whereas it’s at least as much a feature of clouds and resistors and jam.

I'm not mistaking social construction to mean "whatever the consensus believes it is what it is". I'm trying to understand what you were saying - a specific resistor changes its behavior or things that fall into the category of resistors have different behaviors over time?
