Beings might exist purely as connections between other things, unable to stand alone

Evidence

Yet another thought experiments posits the concept of Angels as a connection between things. An entity that only exists between. A sort of web or connection. They arise purely as an intrinsic, invisible and unsuspected component of the evolution of the ecology that supports whatever they exist between. They cannot exist on their own. — Mark Fisher, Ghosts of My Life, 415
