I think, your experiment touches on some fundamental questions and facilitates discussion of fundamental questions. For instance, what is real is convention (relation); what is convention is real. What exists is defined to exist by giving it a name. In order to know something we need to measure it with a chosen unit.

Maybe you can explain more what you mean by “existence is not a state” and “existence is a measure of relationships.” For instance, "There are no solids. There are no things. There are only interfering and noninterfering patterns operative in pure principle . . . (B. Fuller): http://science1.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/physical-semantics/
