Is there different betwee the two [be]?

Question

Hello,I have a naive idea with the following sentences. Is one of the [am]  [ to identify], and another [to exist]?          1. Where are you?     I am there.     Does the [am] mean the position of there I  am (= identify) at?          2. You've no conception of what it was to be there. Does the [to be] mean the position of there I am (= exist) in and in which I must deal with a problem or unpleasant situation?Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,

Consider these two examples.

I am Tom. Identifies me

I am. Affirms that I exist.

The philosopher Descartes famously said 'I think, therefore I am'.
He meant that he knew he existed because he was aware of himself as a thinking entity.
