a beingness self-existent in space and continuous in time Explanation: See: https://www.wordreference.com/gren/οντότητα https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/beingne... https://www.lexico.com/definition/beingness https://www.google.co.uk/search?ei=LTxWX8L4DM-tkgXvxqn4DQ&q=... https://www.google.co.uk/search?ei=RTxWX_LsOIjgkgXr0LmABQ&q=... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2020-09-08 07:24:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- After doing further research, I have found that the word ‘entity’ can also be precisely synonymous with ‘beingness’, so I must therefore agree with Nadia that ‘entity’ is at least an equally suitable choice. An alternative to ‘beingness (or entity) self-existent in space’ (in my opinion) is: ‘spatially self-existent beingness (or entity)’. And, as the Internet results for ‘self-existent entity’ are far more than for ‘self-existent beingness’, I think that we must conclude that ‘entity’ is the better word to use in this case.
