exist
Occupy some space
To exist is to be real, to have actual presence in the world: Does life exist on other planets?
The word often marks the difference between reality and imagination, possibility and actuality.
Something that exists is there whether or not anyone notices it.
To exist can also mean merely to survive or persist in minimal fashion: We existed on rice and beans for a month.
Existing conditions or laws are those currently in effect.
