EXISTENCE : Définition de EXISTENCE
A. - The fact of existence.
1. Cultivated language, PHILOS. (The word is taken in its widest extension) Philosophy(s) of existence; consciousness, sense of existence; affirm, believe in, prove the existence of God. His[Malebranch's] doctrine of the indemonstrability of the existence of the outside world (Gilson, Espr. philos. medieval, 1931, p. 15):
1. Death having no real existence, death being non-being, only enters the world and into us through knowledge. P. Leroux, Humanity, t. 2, 1840, p. 542.
- In particular. Existentialist philosophy;[p. opposed to essence] Individual, current, unique and contingent reality. Concrete existence, lived:
2. The atheistic existentialism, which I represent, is more coherent[than the atheism of the eighteenth century]. He declares that if God does not exist, there is at least the being in whom existence precedes essence, a being that exists before it can be defined by any concept, and that this being is man or, says Heidegger, human reality. What does it mean here that existence precedes essence? This means that man exists first, meets himself, emerges in the world, and then defines himself. Sartre, Existent. 1946, p. 21.
- Existence judgment for opposites to value judgment (cf. existential judgment). (The) dilemma that makes existence either a predicate or a kind of ontological quality that would be added from outside the existing. - Only the intervention of thought therefore substitutes the notion of a judgment of existence relating to an object for the irreducible position of a given given as existing (Marcel, Journal,1914, p. 25).
- Moral, physical existence. Dimension morale, physique de l'existence (cf. G. Gusdorf, Traité de l'existence morale, Paris, A. Colin, 1949).
- Expr. to be convinced of sb. as well as of your own existence:
3. This doubt refreshed Maurice's senses: a dark cloud rose from his face and for a moment revealed only peaceful and benevolent features. - Be convinced as of your existence," he said frankly, "that I heard laughing and talking yesterday in Edouard's pavilion. Gozlan, Notary,1836, p. 168.
- Spec, MATH. Theorem of existence. Theorem that affirms the existence of an element of a given set with a given property (cf. Hist. gen. sc., t. 3, vol. 1, 1961, p. 60).
2. Court. The fact that something or someone meets in a given place or time.

but would you be able to provide a link to the crop circle image you posted? It has a remarkable resemblence to a piece of artwork created by Jordan Peterson. I would like to cross post it on his thread, but google image searches have come up empty. I'm super curious as to when and where it was formed.
