So far, I have gathered that existence is a property independent of the observer, but how is that property defined? Self-defined? "I exist"?

For the example of the inception of sentient beings, by causality.

A is required for B to exist, therefor prior to B's existence, A existed.

It would be defined as "A exists" or "A existed at time t".
