It exists as a concept and in our own minds, which I have no problem with. Why do you need morality to be a an immaterial yet truly existing 'thing' or, even a physical agent? It's not a problem for most people that some things are abstract. Obviously, by your definition of whether something exists or not, I don't believe it exists. So what. My definition of what exists resides in the abstract world as well. It's not that difficult.
And maybe it is external. It does not mean this agent has to be intelligent, just that it gives the required output for you to have a sense of.
