I think the word 'exists' can be confusing. I reserve the term 'insist' for phenomenological subjects. Through my mental participation, I can insist that Bugs Bunny's dog is a 'thing', but to say that this is a single thing that now exists in the universe is misleading. I try to reserve 'exist' for the contents of exterior public realism. Subjects then, are never a single anything, but rather neither single nor multiple experiential potentials. They are trans-rational and a-mereological diffractions which vary and resist varying to different extents in different contexts of perception and participation. Subjects are the opposite of things. They have no location or appearance, but they also do not lack a location or appearance. They are qualia.
