Yes. If we cannot prove that their existence is self-contradictory
Propositions can be self contradictory, but how can existence of something be
self-contradictory?

Brent, it was roger, not I, who wrote the above. But in any case I interpreted his
statement to mean if some theoretical object is found to have contradictory properties,
then it does not exist.
Sorry.
So you mean if some mathematical object implies a contradiction it doesn't exist, e.g. the
largest prime number. But then of course the proof of contradiction is relative to the
axioms and rules of inference.
