Saying something is preexisting means it has always been around; before 
there was RAM or CPU cycles; before there were people to know things.

A specific computer model might implement a knowledge ontology, but 
that's hardly 'preexisting'. And if it implements something where the 
mathematical meaning of 'incomplete' inherits from some other definition 
of 'incomplete' then that model does not correspond to reality.
