A real thing is just that which forces the rest of the universe to in some way conform to it; that is to say, if theoretically a thing made strictly no difference to any other entity (i.e. it was not related to any other entity), it could not be said to really exist.
En virkelig ting er bare det, der tvinger resten af universet til at tilpasse sig den; dvs. hvis en ting rent teoretisk slet intet betød for nogen som helst anden identitet (dvs den ikke var relateret til nogen anden entiteter), så kunne den ikke eksistere.
