Is There such a reality as non-X for any and every X?
As the title is asking, does the statement that....
There is such a reality as non-X for any and every X.
...stand true universally? (as a Tautology for reality)

I think not.
Would you want it to?

Can you provide an example?

Yes, if I can find a little bottle.

I had to look back at this because I thought you were just repeating what I wrote.

I'm asking if a complement exists for every possible thing you can think of? I think it simplifies a question about another issue but I want to see if there is anything that might limit this that I haven't thought of. I'm looking for a possible counter example.

I figure this statement suffices (if there is no X without a complement) to argue this:commonsense wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 2:03 pmAren’t you really trying to prove a negative?Scott Mayers wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 1:04 amI had to look back at this because I thought you were just repeating what I wrote.

Let X = Absolutely Nothing.
Then non-(Absolutely Nothing) exists necessarily. That is, we have at least Absolutely Something necessarily for absolutely nothing sufficiently.
We also have, making X = Absolutely Something, a non-X = Absolutely Nothing. This implies that
Absolutely Nothing exists if and only if Absolutely Something Exists.
If this doesn't follow, I need to determine what I might be missing or at least get confirmation of others on this. It doesn't mean that I'd require abandoning it but I'm trying to see if I it is essential to make it a 'postulate' or if it stands as a universal reality without a need to postulate it.

True, but let’s consider this:Impenitent wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 11:05 pm the tic tac toe board shows 5 Xs and only 4 non-Xs
-Imp
For every tic-tac-toe board with 5 Xs there is a tic-tac-toe board with 5 non-Xs.
Are we to look at the contents or the totality?

There can either be some thing OR no thing, only.

There IS, OBVIOUSLY, some things (matter) and no things (a space between and/or around matter). Nothing needs to be postulated here.
Space AND matter co-exist together, FOREVER. If they both exist, then HAVE TO co-exist, ALWAYS. This means that some thing AND no thing have ALWAYS existed together.
This knowledge leads to, dare I say it, "a theory" of Everything, which the conclusion of will be something like: EVERY thing has an opposite, in equilibrium.
Consciousness of matter exists, therefore absolutely some thing exists. And, if Absolutely Something exists (consciously), then Absolutely Nothing exists also.
Like I was saying earlier, there could be an infinite expanse of Absolutely Nothing or an infinite expanse on of One thing, but either way there could NOT be change, and, if there was consciousness of that that also could NOT change. The Truth is different - there ARE some things (matter) and there IS no thing (space), and there IS change. Therefore, space AND matter are the two fundamental things that co-existed always.
That is in the highest of likelihood of probabilities not in sound, valid argument form, but any one who has studied 'logic' in a philosophy course could probably put that into a sound and valid argument form.
