I came across this usage of the word "subsists" and am at a loss to
understand what the author is getting at. I am hoping that someone
here can perhaps clarify what appears to me an ambiguous usage.
I will paraphrase and condense the actual paragraph, but I believe the
essence of what was said will remain intact.
Here goes---
First, there is provided characteristics of those that comprise (what
I will call) Group A, so that a clear understanding is developed for
the members of Group A, Then the author(s) continue by indicating that
Group A subsists in Group B.
So my question is, are all members of Group A in Group B, or some
members of Group A in Group B, and just how does Group B relate to
Group A?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
