are these true or false ?
the non unicorn does non-exist.
the un-unicorn does un-exist
the not unicorn does exist.
the unicorn (meaning only one) does not exist.
the unicorns do not exist (all of them)
non physical concepts do not exist
physical concepts do exist
all concepts are divided into physical and non physical
the concept of unicorn(s) is divided into physical and non physical
a drawing of a unicorn is physical
