Categories of Existence

To better understand existence, we can start by creating properties in which existence exist. I will attempt to restrict language somewhat, thus to maintain a complete concept of all possible existences; though no one would be wrong in saying that this is incorrect, which we may see at a later time. But these properties i will consider universal for right now. There are five properties of existence; Space, Motion, Quantity, Property, Time. These are intrinsic and necessary in our reality at the very least, they can not be separated from existence or each other.

Each property is intertwined with existence so tightly that the basic concept is difficult to explain. Each term itself is arbitrary to the actual concept; a concept which i doubt any being can fully grasp except existence itself. I will still do my best to explain as completely as possible starting with Space. Space, as defined, is form; and form is length, width, and depth. When we think of Space, the subject of geometry should come into mind, or one can think of cosmology, the study of outer space. Space is the shape of a figure, and as we know, figures come in a myriad of shapes and sizes. Existence is perhaps the biggest space imaginable, and the universe, or reality, second biggest. The smallest space known is the atom or particle, which physicists measure using Planck’s constant, which is a very small number. Space and the other properties of existence, as terms, are reliant on a observer; But also, for an observer to be a observer qua observer, he/she must also exist, and is therefore reliant on existence conversely.

(Footnote: I personally simply assume we are the observers. And as i am apart of we, i must conclude that existence existed before me. I can not affirm the knowledge any events that occurred before my birth with certainty, for is is all knowledge from hearsay. The facts and evidence are adequate, however, and i can’t believe otherwise unless evidence to do so was brought to me. This is very much an issue concerning mind, which i will review latterly. Our existence itself is a mind/body paradox which should be taken into account more often than it usually is.)

The next property of existence is Motion. By Motion i mean any action; action being simply a thing done, a force exerted. Motion is easily seen in relation to Space, when Space is being occupied or changing form. Particles, the basic building blocks of existence, are in constant Motion. Motion is what brings particles together in various configurations. When particles become more restricted in Motion and Space, they clump together and form many of the objects we see around us; however though we see things “at rest,” at the subatomic they’re still in Motion, or more precisely exerting a force. In a broad scale, the primary forces that act in nature are; electromagnetic force, gravitational force, weak force, and strong force. These are more of a psychics standard of Motion. Motion comes in many different actions that create rather counter-intuitive concepts to exist.

Motion is also implied in the simple fact of an object being in Space. For Space is a pure form of extension, thus any object in Space is taking up volume in Space. But Space itself, being pure extension and a unit, doesn’t necessitate an object, because it is itself an object. However, extension is a Motion, and as such is an intrinsic Motion of Space. In the Space of reality, we only know what empirical facts tell us. Any premise that is to concern reality must have an implication of Space of some form and whatever Motion its doing. Reasons being other concepts, other Motions and Spaces, such as cause and effect; observing, observer, observed triune; and the mind-body relationship.

(Footnote: I’m going to end here for now. For the idea is starting to take shape, and just needs more information. It’s clear that the rather intrinsic properties of existence itself is spread throughout all existence. But as we separate the multiple factors of existence, it becomes more clear what existence is, and how it can be.)
