existence in metaphysics

Subjects and objects have a property {existence} {being} of being in nature. Being is about objects and substance, as opposed to process and change. Existences are descriptions or predicates. Existences are not object essences, names, or particular things. Laws or principles do not make existences.

First-order existence indicates that objects are real. Second-order existence indicates that objects act real. Fictional objects have second-order existence, because they are not actually real. Because signals take time to travel, particles have no clear beginning or ending of existence.
