If nothing interacts with it, does it exist?

Not “unknown”. Not “unobserved”.

I mean: no interaction at all.

Because in experiments, nothing happens inside a system on its own.

Events only appear when something meets something else.

So maybe this is the real question:

Is existence something things have—

or something that only appears when things interact?
