You can't define stuff into real existence. Either you're talking about something that is already real, or you are not. It's up to you to establish which.

You can define things into an abstract system, however. Whether you ever want to come back out of that system and into reality depends on your willingness to adopt the scientific method.

Cue conflating reality with abstract systems.
