Definition
Existence is a fundamental attribute/property of Reality and the Source of the Reality, the fundamental entity. It represents the ontological aspect of Reality. Existence is the product of the sub process of Creation, where the incessant inner interaction between of its two aspects, the Fundamental Force (the Agent) and the Elementary Field (the Acted), produces the Elementary Events, the Elementary Action, the most elementary form of Existence. Existence express itself in the causal, spatial and temporal dimensions, and is strictly related to the basic concepts of emergence and reification (what exists is real and belongs to the Universal Reality, and, symmetrically, what is real exists, both in the physical and cognitive sense).
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).
