Because the expression ‘the idea of Richard J. Hanak’ has several different meanings and because a number of other people also have that name, your question is too ambiguous to answer in an unambiguous way. If you would tell me how your intent in that question is relevant to this thread, I would gladly help you to revise the question.
It arose from statement 13 of this post.

13. There is considerable ambiguity in defining the universe.
This then appears to lead you to suggest that the idea of the universe is not justifiable, and hence other consequences flow.

I was merely wanting to see if you could define "Richard J Hanak" in an unambiguous fashion, and hence demonstrate that the ambiguity that you attribute to the concept of "the universe" is of a different order to the ambiguity in defining other concepts which we seem to have no problem with.
