Are there any relationships between two physical objects that are neither interactions nor similarities?
Simple proximity (my pillow and the blinds on my window are not similar and don’t interact, but they’re about six inches apart at the moment). Co-use (my serving fork and my jar of minced garlic have no apparent similarities and may never directly interact, but they are both involved when I make certain foods). Having both come into contact with the same thing (I have touched both my shoes and my computer, which are dissimilar and haven’t interacted).
I’m guessing, then, that proximity, co-use, and common contact do not generally establish magical connections between things, unlike direct interaction and similarity.

Not according to the laws described in the post, no. Of course there are probably magical systems that invoke some or all of those relationships.
