Existence

Definition

Existence is a fundamental attribute/property of Reality and the Source of 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).
