Conceptual Destruction

[Bernkastelll]

I have some questions about it, pls, answer all the questions pls

Question 1: if someone destroy the concept of water, does all living beings who has water in their body would die because they lack water?

Question 2: if someone destroy the concept of ''Cat'', everyone will forget that Cat existed? or people will still remember that Cat existed?

For question 1: it depends on the verse. What you suggested is one way it could be handled. It might also remove any and all association that people have with water, including the necessity of water to function. It could also make it so organisms never developed a dependency on water, but on something else instead.
For question 2: Theoretically it should work. People’s understanding of cats (the type 4 concept) should be a part of the greater concept of cats (type 3 or 2 concept). But not all fiction will treat it this way, sometimes stuff will disappear but memories won’t. If the memories do remain, sometimes people won’t be able to understand what the cats in them are.
