Does Object Theory imply all possible things exist?
Object Theory does not imply that all *possible* things exist in the same way that concrete objects exist. Rather, it provides a framework for understanding and reasoning about abstract objects, which may include objects that are possible but not actual. The theory is concerned with the metaphysics of abstract entities, such as properties, propositions, and possible worlds themselves. We can reason about these entities and their relationships without asserting their concrete existence. The focus is on the formal structure of what *can be* conceived of as existing abstractly.
