I don't think this would be right.  For example, if there were no concrete
entities, there would still be an abstract entity called "the set of all
concrete entities", and you could make true or false statements about it
(like "it's an empty set").  If you were a Platonist.

===============

We have no decision procedure for determining whether abstract entities
exist independently of concrete entities and vice versa. I think this is
what Asian thinkers were struggling with with their notion of co-dependent
origination.
