you have backed away from that terminology. I have found that you can actually communicate more by saying the same things in different ways than by just repeating the same words. If they are available to they exist 'someplace' for our discovery or not. My answer is a resounding double yes. Lets say for example, that all of the real numbers between zero and one exist. Well, on some abstract level I can say "sure they exist, given enough time I could come up with any one of them". On another level though, they have not existed unless they were used. It's more that the potential for the numbers exist more than the numbers themselves. The real point here is that I can talk about all the numbers between zero and one (and just have) in this sentence. The actual series of numbers is infinitely too long for me to express in any format. That means that the actual information content of my sentence was far less than it's potential information content. cs.auckland.ac.nz
