Ideas are things that exist, in a sense,
as ideas. A wheel may or may not exist physically, but the principle that a vehicle with wheels is more easily driven along the path is true regardless.
Is there such a thing as an isosceles triangle? Have you ever seen one? Or even a point or a straight line? Does SU(2, C) exist? They don't "exist" physically, they are only mathematical objects.
