Then feel "free" to call this by any name you wish. I'm after an
externally
determinable feature, not an internal one. Do you have a meaning for
"exist"
such that you are willing to say that electrons exist and that people
exist?
I am after a property that electrons can be shown not to have and that
people
can be shown to have.

If your views of the world do not include "exist" as a meaningful
verb, then there does indeed seem little more to speak of.
