This is an attempt at refuting Kant's claim that a thing's existence can't
be a predicate:

Since everything is connected ("hangs together") - there are no absolute
dividing lines / there is no empty space - everything must have a *common
denominator*; this common denominator must be necessary (since everything is
necessary / has at least one cause); therefore general existence must have a
necessary component/aspect in order to exist (therefore existence is a
quality/predicate).
