Even if the word "exists" has no use because everything exists, it
seems important to know why everything exists. How is it that a
thing can exist? What I suggest is that a grouping defining what is
contained within is an existent entity. Then, you can use this to
try and answer the other question of "Why is there something rather
than nothing?".
If everything exists, what doesn't exist? Nothing.
If nothing existed; would it remain nothing?
Careful not confusing "Nothing exists" and "Nothing exist".
In the first case, something exists. But not necessarily in the second
case.
Of course not everything exists a priori. There is no divisors of zero
different from zero, nor is there a cat-dog, nor is there a triangle
with four sides.
Then with mechanism, we can, assume that what exist are simply the
numbers 0, s(0), s(s(0)), etc.
Then all the rest, God included, is part of a persistent number
hallucination, but "hallucination" should not be used as "unreal",
because the hallucination is real, and is what makes our lives, and
there is no reason to dismiss them at all.
The math makes this clear too by distinguish the
ontical existence Ex P(x) and only 0, s(0), ... exists in that sense
and the many and quite variate rich phenomenological existence: whcih
are obtained with the modal points of view, like []Ex[]P(x), with []
being the box of self-reference logic and its many intensional
variants (which distinguish basicall all science (biology, psychology,
physics, even theology).
