I was thinking about this the other day.
If we were to say that all abstract concepts “exist” in some hypothetical field, then that leads to further problems. To be sure two people are talking about the same concept within that field, a simple label isn’t enough. We would have to make sure that every aspect of that concept, as their minds perceive it, is identical. This would require their perception of every concept used to qualify those aspects to be identical too, and so on.
