From possibilism to trivialism?

If Santa (Siva or the Hindu version) possibly within the actual world is a negative existential but trivial true too as a prototype then it seems possible Santa has a peripheral and central nervous system but upon verification contradictions like "\(p\) and not \(p\)" are also true entails both a statement and its negation as true simultaneously where the negative existential does not have a nervous system and has a nervous system. One way to get around this is to invoke the subtle body (Tanu) is true functionary to earth nervous system, and in classic Vedic society the sacrifice was the material object or animal, sacrificed through some modality (fire) to the deva (Santa) with a prescriptive speech act. Once these four criteria are met then possibility becomes trivialism for that ontology.
