A Manifestation is a Perceivable Creation. All perceivable Creations may be Abstracted to some Concept (for example, all nails can belong to various AbstractClasses such as Nail, 3InchNail,
RoundHeadedNail etc), and so all are Manifestations of that Concept. It is common, but not necessary, for the Concept to be pre-Named or pre-Existent. For example, the first Manifestation of a poem may be thought to be a Manifestation of an unnamed Concept (that is, the Manifestation of a pre-existing idea of the poem in the poet's head), or it may be thought that
the idea did not pre-exist the Manifestation but came into being in the act of its Expression (as in an improvisation). Because
unnamed Concepts are by definition unnamed and are inaccessible to anyone other than the Conceiver
until they are Expressed, the argument is normally not of consequence; and if it is
important to differentiate between pre-conceived and other Manifestations in some domain, this can be done through with specializations of the verb Express.
