I was using the term aether in the abstract. I thought that to be obvious but apparently not...sorry

That's the way I took it. The comment still applies. There are times when the obvious is not obvious. Your sentence falls into that category.

We have been using several abstract terms such as 'time' that have no specific storage location.

Time is not an abstract term. It's an arbitrary system of measurement. We can define time, we can measure it, it has direction.

Among human beings that is fairly universal and so constitutes as solid of evidence as one could hope for get(you may be one of the rare exceptions who only believes external proofs).

You haven't established how you are self aware. You leap to the conclusion that it is obvious and it is obvious to everyone, therefore it is self-evident. But we know that self awareness in some measure can be flawed. Take a leg amputee. It is quite well known that leg amputees will "feel" heat, cold, pain in the amputated leg. They are aware. But other senses tell them that the leg is not there. There is an awareness conflict. Try to explain or show self awareness in the absence of a physical body. Or perhaps we could postulate that the sensations from the "leg" are real. They are just coming from a different dimension [time] where the leg exists.

I explained the concept of eternal-presence in a way that defies contradiction.

I haven't seen you discuss any new concepts. It escapes me why you would want to coin a term for it. Whatever it might be. Quite frankly, I had thought from our earliest discussion that you would continue the point questioned as to the existence of a life energy. You don't seem to be doing that.
