How many electrons are there? One? More than one? how can you tell
them apart? OK, the one on the left is different from the one on the
right? Suppose I say I've rearranged their position, how do you
verify if I'm lying? So are they different or are they one?
I doubt discussing your state of existence as "noun" or "adjective" or
even "verb" makes any sense. To say that any of us are an object IN
the universe or a property OF the universe is mostly just bickering
over nothing.
