An interesting point in the current
GURPS rules is that lack of characteristics is not always "Attribute 0". Lack of load-bearing ability is represented by ST 0 and lack of intelligence by IQ 0, but lack of physical action is
not DX 0. See pp. 118-120 of
Thaumatology, which first introduced the rules for designing objects with no moving parts (as opposed to robots, vehicles, etc.) as PCs.

Thaumatology gives object-characters No Manipulators and No Legs (Portable) disadvantages but leaves DX within a range centered on 10.
