At first I thought the Theory of Existence did disprove itself: If I, or someone else, thought [along the lines] "there is a disproof for the Theory of Existence" then the disproof would exist (according to the properties defined in the Theory of Existence). But in actuality the disproof did not come into existence by thinking of it, only the concept or idea of it.
For example: If I think/conceive "there are 500 pink rhinos sitting in my car" the idea exists but that doesn't mean there are suddenly 500 pink rhinos sitting in my car.
I recognize the value of completeness/incompleteness but if possible I would like to avoid that resolution. It seems icky
