From your brain.

Did they (or the possibility of
their existence) exist in some tangible form in the first elements of
the universe, the way the leaf "exists" in the acorn?

You mean in the sense that the acorn has the code
for the machinery to synthesize leaves?

Yes, they exist in that sense. The machinery of your
brain knows how to create the electrical signals
which feel like "thought" and "emotion" to you.
