Is existence not a property because all concept already includes this quasi-property? Does all conception already include unity and existence? I suggest that it does.
The monad is a moral form... And it is because existence is an infinite which means that since we cannot have the last word about it we cannot have the first word about it...
The concept of one comes from the existence of individuals in humanity, and in the species we hunted... Think of how a child counts, on fingers, holding fingers aloft to indicate age or other numbers, as a series of ones for ones...All numbers are ones or in ratio to one, as all fractions are part of one...
We see and seek a basic unity in the cosmos, but it is like our laws which we impose upon nature, and why should I care, as long as those law serve a utilitarian purpose??? What I know of the cosmos is nothing, and what I can presume is meaningless... So, my speculation, like your own is pretty much meaningless, but feel free, and enjoy...
