In the universal ontological context, if something exists - then it exists.

If there is a context in which ontological entities cease to exist, the context is bullshit.

A unicorn fails to exist as an empirical biological entity yet exists as a dream. The context of "empirical biological entity" is justified by further contexts such as "worm". So one context may not be applied to one phenomenon yet is still justified as an existing context by another context.

Truth is the alignment of contexts.
