were many unique items, they would lose that quality. my sense is that there
is a unique Source, and that all (other) things are derived from it.]

Well, perhaps the Source could be "identity" itself, as a property that all existing things have.

If the project is indeed logically possible, maybe it exists - perhaps at a time in the future or in a different world. It depends on how the project is defined - then we can see whether it is logically possible. Definitions may be difficult though. If the project is defined as existing now but it is incompatible with the current state of our planet or universe, then the project is not really logically possible (consistent) even though it may appear so. And because it is not logically possible, it doesn't exist.
