Definition

Fundamental attribute of Reality, of which represents the ontological aspect. Existence is the direct manifestation of the Primary Source, it is incessantly produced by the inner interaction of its two aspects, the Fundamental Force acting on the Elementary Field. This interaction realizes the creative sub-process, a side of the Process of Formation of Reality.

Everything that exists is real and belongs to the Universal Reality. And, symmetrically, everything that is real exists: the Action, Information and Energy, the Structures of Information, the material and the immaterial Forms (the immaterial product of the cognitive activities of the Living Forms, or, more in general, of the Finalistic Agents).

Common definition

Existence is the ability of an entity to interact with physical or mental reality. In philosophy, it refers to the ontological property of being. The word "existence" comes from the Latin word exsistere meaning "to appear", "to arise", "to become", or "to be", but literally, it means "to stand out" (ex- being the Latin prefix for "out" added to the causative of the verb stare, meaning "to stand"). In a technical sense, this refers to standing out of both being and becoming, thus having the qualities of both. Existence is an ontological argument par excellence and relates to that of being but in the alternative, as its contingent way of manifesting itself and of flowing. It therefore also concerns the dimension of becoming. "Existence" means etymologically to be from, because it derives from the Latin compound ēx + sistentia, which means having the being from another, external to itself. In fact existence does not have its own being, but exists only in so far as it is subordinated to a higher being. This is why the words existence and being have been treated quite differently throughout the history of Western philosophy.(Link to Wikipedia page: Existence).

Description

The only entity of which it is possible to affirm the absolute existence is the Primary Source, in its two aspects, Fundamental Force acting on the Elementary Field. It is the fundamental entity, absolute creative power. We can say that the Source exists, because it produces the fundamental form of existence, the Elementary action, the existential substratum of Reality, that supports Information, which gives form to the Action. All the Structures of Information and the Forms, that dynamically and evolutively compose the Reality, possess the property of "derivative existence", as various organizations of the events that constitute the Elementary Action.
