Concept Manipulation Types

Hello guys, I've been wondering. What type of conceptual manipulation is it when the said "Concept" exist in a way that relies on names, like literally, it's to the point where names are everything, like how a stone being unaware of the universe, therefore the concept of "universe" does not exist for them, but the moment someone assigns the word "universe" that concept would now exist. Erasing that concept also means erasing every single stone that exist in the world and the moment it gets erased, nobody will be able to remember it. Basically, us humans are unaware whether the world is a multiverse or a single universe, but what we know is that were inside a universe, so for us, the concept of "Multiverse" doesn't exist, that should be a good explanation.

If a character who is unaware of a concept causes said concept that they are unaware of to stop existing, it depends on what concepts they've erased due to this. If this character didn't know what fear was, and fear was simply erased as a concept as a byproduct that would be conceptual manipulation type 1. If this character didn't know what humanity was, and erased the concept of humanity, that would be type 2.

The character being unaware of the universe, and thus the concept of a universe was erased (and thus the end of the universe occurred), would probably be type 2 conceptual manipulation if i am understanding correctly.

What I'm saying is that, the stone being unaware of the concept of universe so the stone has no concept of universe, that's what I mean, the moment one human name the universe universe, then the universe will only truly exist at that time and in the past it will act as if it doesn't exist

Basically the concept doesn't exist "FOR THEM" because they're unaware of it, but in this case, it applies for everyone. Like being unaware of the universe doesn't mean it erases that concept, it just that being unaware of that concept means that concept never existed for you, it's wouldn't be erase because the concept never existed in the first place, also this applies to every single concepts that they are unaware of, the concept of universe is just an example.

Also, the erasing concepts thing, it means that if somehow I erase the concept of house, then all house in the world would case to exist along with the memories of people having a house.
