Existence

An Entity is declared to exist, generally irrespective of its position or even the possibility of its position being specified. Time, Duration, Inherent_purpose, and State may also be mentioned. This frame is to be contrasted with Presence, which describes the existence of an Entity in a particular (and salient) spacio-temporal context, and which also entails the presence of an observer who can detect the existence of the Entity in that context. Finally, Poland ceased to exist as a state for hundreds of years. Such laws exist to prevent exactly this kind of fraud. There IS a Santa Claus!
