 In actualist representationism, existence is conceptually prior to actual existence. This is in concert with the priority of the truth of any proposition P over the actual truth of P. P is actually true if and only if P is true at the actual world, which in turn is so if and only if the actual world represents P as true. And by definition, the actual world is the possible world which represents P as true if and only if P is true. Likewise, for an object to exist at the actual world is for the actual world to represent it as existing; the actual world represents an object as existing if and only if the object exists. Actual existence is thus reducible to existence simpliciter.
