Logic.

You acknowledge multiples, acknowledge multiple distinctions, select only one then claim infinite is finite and not truly axiomatic because of that limited selection. You acknowledge multiplicity then conveniently exclude it to suit a biased position.
My system is based upon the full range of paradoxes, should should know this by now.
You are not simply including all paradox but rather attempting to impose incongruent contradiction upon all things, hence the supposed relative nothingness in all things and the nonsensical assertions which result.

Relative nothingness is nonsensical. A concept, a thing, but nonsensical.

Absence of a thing is absence of a thing. Absence still concerns subjects and locations. Absence still concerns things. Absence itself is a condition, a thing.

That is a nonsensical statement.

Things themselves are things. That is not absence of things or nothingness. Nor are other things magically nullified because of a particular thing. Other things are simply in other locations. They are. That is presence, not absence. Certainly not nothingness.

Besides, all things are all things. There would be no absence of specific other things as it’s all things.
The absence of a specific thing within another thing occurs through every single thing. Occurring through every single thing, relative nothingness permeates all things.
A specific thing is a specific thing. A specific thing is not absent a specific thing as it is a specific thing.

You are selecting a single thing, at the exclusion of all other existence, and claiming that single thing is absent a thing. From that limited premise you are claiming existence is limited and only limited. It is a limited and erroneous position. Such is the basis of your argument.

All things are not absent other things. All things are all things.

Infinite remains infinite although finite things are. Infinite is inclusive. Infinite includes finite. Such is evident in the term itself. This is further explained here: viewtopic.php?p=747484#p747484

No, I included all paradox as evidenced by circle paradox:

The space between the interior and exterior space of the circle is the circle itself. The circle simultaneously connects these opposing spaces (congruent) and seperates these opposing spaces (incongruent).

This can be relegated to another paradox, the point occurence paradox:

The seperation of points allows points to occur by allowing distinction. Incongruency.

The connection of points allows points to occur as contrast is a relationship. Congruency.


As to the rest. A thing is defined by what it is not. An apple is defined by not being an orange, not a vegetable, not a tree, etc. What a thing is not allows a thing to take the space of what it is. This absence of any one or more things is a relative nothingness, a relative absence of a specific type of thingness.

If absence is a thing than relative nothingness is a thing and you claimed nothingness cannot exist, but it does.

You claim a thing lacks another thing and from this premise introduce relative nothingness. However a thing is still a thing and all things, being all things, lack no thing rendering relative nothingness nonsensical.

A thing is an existing, material or immaterial; a part of existence. That which is perceived or interacted with, at least in part, in some way.

An apple is defined primarily by its perceived characteristics in comparison and in contrast with the perceived characteristics of other things.

Absence is a thing, absence can be observed. A student is absent from class, for example. That is observed each day in classrooms around the world. Still only things, people, locations, etcetera, are involved. Not nothingness or nonexistence.

As stated earlier relative nothingness is a nonsensical concept. It is still a thing although nonsensical. So yes, relative nothingness is a thing. It is a nonsensical concept which doesn’t actually apply. A nonsensical concept is a nonsensical concept. Not nothingness or nonexistence.

You are not attentive are you? You are quite convinced you have reality in a box, don't you?

If a chair exists than the absence of a tree being there, an absence of a table being there, an absence of "x" being there represents an absence of certain things being there. This is a relative no-thing, a relative nothingness. This relative absence is a thing thus a relative nothingness occurs.

Relative Nothingness is a thing, thus nothingness exists.

If a thing is relative to perception than a relative absence, as a thing, also occurs as part of perception. Relative nothingness can be observed, thus relative nothingness is a thing. Existence requires nothingness.

Absence is quite sensicle. Considering an infinite number of things occurs there is an infinite nothingness through which these things occur.

You say all that exist are things and that nothingness is non-existent, but nothingness is a thing that exists.

You cannot escape the full range of paradoxes by which reality occurs.

Existence is infinite. Existence is not confined to a box.

You attempt to limit existence. You select some single thing, excluding all others, and use that as excuse to introduce nothingness.

A chair is acknowledged. A chair is a thing. That is a thing, not nothingness. A certain thing, a chair, is there. That is not absence of a certain thing. That is presence of a certain thing.

That certain thing is limited as that certain thing. However nothingness is not introduced because existence is not limited to that certain thing.

Take the chair example. One observes a chair and realizes it as a certain thing. Within that same observation, often within view of a chair is a table, observed through peripheral vision. Perhaps even a tree in the window. Those things are observably there. That very example, that single observation illustrates the multiplicity, the vastness, the unlimitedness of existence.

Absence and nothingness are not the same. Absence is a circumstance or condition and can be observed. Bob’s absence from class Tuesday was acknowledged or observed by students, for example. Still only things occupied the room, students, desks, air, etcetera. All people and items referenced, Bob, class, the students, etcetera, are things, are existence. Nothingness, nonexistence is not and cannot be to be observed or referenced.

Relative nothingness is an oxymoron. A nonsensical concept as you ironically suggest. You introduced the terms earlier:
Eodnhoj7 wrote: Wed Jan 01, 2025 4:57 pm 1. There is nothing to coexist with absolute nothing as there is absolutely nothing for existence to coexist with in the absolute sense. Absolute nothingness is a term which is paradoxical.

2. Nothingness as relative is merely potentiality as a means for existence to actualize through change inducing movement. An atom is 99.9999... percent empty. A simple point in geometry is also empty. The emptiness is void, nothingness.

There is absolute nothingness and relative nothingness.
…basically suggesting volumes of nothingness. By your assertion watermelon with salt is less percent nothingness than watermelon without salt. No, all is existence, components have merely been shifted around and measured accordingly.

You are suggesting gradients of nothingness, various types of nothingness, absolute nothingness and relative nothingness, yet essentially negate your own position here in another thread:

If A thing occurs through not being another thing, then the first thing, is NOT absent, and therefore EXISTS. SO, there is NO absence, here, which MEANS that your claim of 'this absence' exists in your IMAGINATION ONLY, "eodnhoj7".

That there is a perceived ABSENCE between and around physical things IS OBVIOUS.

That the apparent 'nothing', or 'space', between and around physical things is KNOWN as 'something', and is IN FACT 'some thing' is PLAINLY OBVIOUS, AS WELL.

So, the areas of 'nothingness', IN this One and ONLY Universe, is, OBVIOUSLY, A 'thing'. And, so it could be said and argued that, OBVIOUSLY, 'nothingness' exists. But, JUST AS OBVIOUS is the IRREFUTABLE Fact that is NOT just ONLY 'nothingness'. That you BELIEVE, ABSOLUTELY, that there IS ONLY 'nothingness', ONLY, IS OBVIOUS, and that your words, here, are 'TRYING' their HARDEST to FIGHT and ARGUE FOR you BELIEF that there is ONLY 'nothingness' IS ALSO OBVIOUS, but 'those words' ARE False, and VERY, VERY Wrong, Inaccurate, AND Incorrect.

As I have, AGAIN, JUST PROVED True, ONCE MORE.

OF COURSE it could be SAID and ARGUED that 'nothingness' exists. The 'space' between and around 'matter' is A FORM OF 'nothingness'. 'Space', itself, HAS TO BE INTERPRETED and SEEN AS A 'nothingness'. Otherwise, the OTHER 'thing/s' could NOT be INTERPRETED, and SEEN. So, it is BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that 'nothingness' EXISTS. And, it is just AS BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that 'something/s' EXIST.

AGAIN, and for the VERY SLOW OF LEARNING and COMPREHENDING, and UNDERSTANDING, here;

The Universe, FUNDAMENTALLY, is made up of TWO 'things', namely 'matter', or 'something', AND, 'space', or 'nothing/no thing'.

Now, and AGAIN, they BOTH HAVE TO EXIST, otherwise if there was ONLY one of them, then there would NOT BE 'contrast', which is NEEDED TO DISCERN. If there was ONLY 'one', 'space' OR 'matter', ONLY, then the One who is the Observer, and who IS the 'I', which IS AWARE, could NOT be HERE, NOW. Since 'I' AM HERE, NOW, the Universe EXISTS, and HOW the Universe EXISTS IS BECAUSE, at the MOST FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL, 'what' EXISTS IS BOTH 'visible' ['matter'], AND, 'invisible' ['space']. And, 'one' WITHOUT 'the other' 'I' could NOT be HERE-NOW, and, the Universe could NOT be FATHOMABLE. Let alone UNDERSTOOD, and KNOWN.

Relative nothingness is nonsensical, it is contradictory. It is relative meaning it involves other things. Its own terminology implicitly acknowledges other things thus indicating no actual absence or lack.

Your own example illustrates this. The chair example, for instance. You claim relative nothingness because the chair is not a table. However in that very claim another thing, a table, is acknowledged as a point of identification for the chair. Other things are included thus they are not lacking. Relative nothingness negates itself.

Space and nothing are not synonymous.

The contrast of physicality is immateriality. Not nothing or nothingness.

Material is differentiated from immaterial. Both can be perceived and are perceived.

Immaterial space has no matter, no material composition thus no resistance allowing material bodies motion.

Immaterial space, things have properties, qualities or characteristics. Things, existence can be discussed. Nothing has no qualities or properties nor can it be discussed as it does not exist.

So, to "daniel j lavender" anyway, the WHOLE INFINITE Universe is made up of ONE, infinitely compressed, piece of material, or matter, ONLY. Or, in other words, OF ONE 'something', ALONE.

I WILL suggest that BEFORE you, or another, 'TRIES TO' ARGUE AGAINST what I have SAID and MEANT, they, FIRST, OBTAIN the KNOWLEDGE OF what I ACTUALLY MEANT, PRIOR to SPEAKING and/or WRITING.

Re: Existence Is Infinite

Obviously the Universe, Itself, is NOT just ONE SOLID 'piece of matter'. Which therefore MEANS there IS EXISTING a 'distance', or a 'space' between and around 'matter', at the smallest of perspectives or levels, and at the largest of perspectives or levels, for example, there is a distance or space between 'quarks' and 'leptons', as well as between and around 'stars' and 'galaxies'.

Now, this space, or distance, can be said or can be called an area of 'nothing', however, and obviously, 'this area of nothing' is ALSO A 'something'. It is JUST an area of apparent 'nothing' or 'no thing', which is in CONTRAST of an area of 'obvious matter'. But, and OBVIOUSLY, BOTH HAVE TO EXIST, or CO-EXIST WITH 'each other', FOR the Universe to BE 'the way' that It IS.

And, BECAUSE the Universe IS IN 'this way' HERE-NOW, then the Universe HAS TO BE IN 'this way' ALWAYS, or ETERNALLY.

Which, like WITH ALL of what I SAY and CLAIM, here, CAN BE and WILL BE PROVED, IRREFUTABLY, True, that is; IF absolutely ANY one IS Truly INTERESTED IN HAVING A FULLY OPEN and Honest DISCUSSION, here.

Space is volume, area or a region of existence.

The universe is not necessarily infinite. Existence encompasses the universe. Existence is the more comprehensive term.

No. There are various elements, various components. All components, all elements are parts of existence.

Something, some thing is a thing. A thing is not no thing. Your contention is a contradiction.

As stated in July of 2023 “area of nothing” is an oxymoron:

If it is an area it is not nothing. The area may be considered empty (as in free of matter) however it would not be nothingness.
The contrast of matter, of materiality is immateriality. Not nothingness.

Okay. And, what does this 'space', [volume, area, or a region of existence], consist of, exactly, and/or made up of, EXACTLY?

Okay. So, if 'we' have ALREADY DISCUSSED 'this topic', then what have I ALREADY CONCLUDED, and what are my VIEWS, here, exactly?

Now, if you do NOT YET ALREADY KNOW mine, and you can NOT REPEAT my VIEWS, here, then WHY DO you EXPECT me to KNOW yours, ALREADY?

If you do NOT WISH to JUST SAY what your CONCLUDED VIEWS ARE, here, then okay.

Also, and by the way, you may NOT YET HAVE NOTICED but what 'we' HAD ALREADY DISCUSSED, in those links what NOT 'material space' NOR 'immaterial space' AT ALL. What 'we' ACTUALLY DISCUSSED, in those posts, was 'immaterial expanse', INSTEAD.

So, would you 'now' like to INFORM the readers, here, ABOUT the ACTUAL DIFFERENCE between so-called 'material space' AND 'immaterial space', EXACTLY?

If no, then WHY NOT?

But, if yes, then GREAT.

After all I will AGAIN suggest that if one wants to INTRODUCE 'ideas' or 'terms', then it is BETTER FOR them that they have the ACTUAL PROOF or the ABILITY TO back up and support 'their ideas' and/or 'their terms'.

LOL

To me, this would have been like STATING and CLAIMING that the earth does not necessarily revolve around the sun, TO the one who is EXPLAINING HOW the earth does ACTUALLY revolve around the sun.

ONCE AGAIN, for the SLOW OF LEARNING and/or for those who are NOT LISTENING, The Universe IS infinite AND eternal. FULL STOP.

And, the Universe could NOT BE IN ANY OTHER WAY.

No.
Well this ABSOLUTELY CONTRADICTS what you have STATED and CLAIMED, here, PREVIOUSLY.
daniel j lavender wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 4:59 pm There are various elements, various components. All components, all elements are parts of existence.
LOL

So, 'now', what are these, supposed, DIFFERENT 'various elements', EXACTLY, AND, what are these, supposed, DIFFERENT 'various components', EXACTLY?

And, HOW are 'they' ALL SEPARATED FROM 'each other', EXACTLY? Namely, what IS the ACTUAL 'thing', itself, which SEPARATES ALL OF 'these things' FROM 'each other'.
And,

ONCE MORE, I WILL SUGGEST that you SEEK OUT and OBTAIN ACTUAL CLARIFICATION BEFORE you START MAKING ASSUMPTIONS, and CONCLUDING and BELIEVING things. That way you WILL NOT BE SO Wrong, AS OFTEN as you CLEARLY ARE BEING, here.

Now, 'what' CONTENTION are you EVEN REFERRING TO, here, EXACTLY?
daniel j lavender wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 4:59 pm As stated in July of 2023 “area of nothing” is an oxymoron:
LOL 'As stated'.

LOL Are you, SERIOUSLY, 'TRYING TO' MAKE OUT that just because you have STATED some thing, then 'that thing' IS ABSOLUTELY True, Right, Accurate, and/or Correct?

Oh, and by the way, IF AN 'area of nothing' is an OXYMORON and MEANING that AN 'area of nothing' DOES NOT and COULD NOT EXIST, then what 'this' then MEANS IS that the WHOLE Universe is AN 'area of something', and that WHOLE AREA would HAVE TO BE MADE UP OF ONE 'thing' ONLY.

Which 'we' would NEED TO 'DELVE INTO' and 'LOOK INTO' FURTHER, FOR you TO BE ABLE TO 'SEE' the ACTUAL FULL CLAIM that you are 'TRYING TO' MAKE, here.

AGAIN, I SUGGEST that you SEEK OUT and OBTAIN and GAIN CLARIFICATION of what I ACTUALLY MEAN in what I ACTUALLY SAY and WRITE, here. AND, DO 'this' BEFORE you DO ANYTHING ELSE, here.

Now, AGAIN, if what you are SAYING and CLAIMING, here, WAS TRUE, then the WHOLE AREA, or the WHOLE EXPANSE, OF THE UNIVERSE IS OF SOME 'thing', and NOT 'NO thing'. Which, AGAIN, MEANS that the WHOLE EXPANSE and WHOLE AREA OF THE UNIVERSE IS OF ONE 'thing' ONLY, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ACTUAL 'space' ANYWHERE.

And, if you WANT TO SAY or CLAIM that this is NOT RIGHT, then BE PREPARED TO BE QUESTIONED and CHALLENGED OVER WHAT you SAY and/or CLAIM.

AGAIN, I WILL SUGGEST that you HAVE ALL that you NEED TO back up and support what you SAY and CLAIM, here.
daniel j lavender wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 4:59 pm The area may be considered empty (as in free of matter) however it would not be nothingness.
YES, 'we' CAN CONSIDER the areas of NO 'matter' AT ALL 'empty'. And, what are 'those areas' EMPTY OF, EXACTLY?

And, if 'those areas' are EMPTY OF 'matter', which IS OBVIOUSLY 'some thing', then 'those areas' may be considered 'free of matter', or 'free of some thing', which OBVIOUSLY correlates TO 'areas of NO thing'. Or, what some may consider 'areas of A nothingness'.

Now, what WAS SO HARD and SO COMPLEX, FOR you, to JUST CONSIDER that what you CALL 'some thing' ANOTHER might well just be CALLING the EXACT SAME 'thing' by ANOTHER NAME or SOME thing ELSE?

And, OBVIOUSLY, if you DO NOT SEEK OUT and OBTAIN and GAIN CLARIFICATION FROM another, then you, like the rest of you posters, here, WILL JUST KEEP 'SEEING' and BELIEVING that there WAS 'CONTENTION' or 'OPPOSITION' WHEN there may well have been NONE AT ALL.
daniel j lavender wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 4:59 pm The contrast of matter, of materiality is immateriality. Not nothingness.
Maybe so. But, this contrast MIGHT exist IN CONCEPT, ONLY. AS you are YET TO KNOW, FOR SURE, that what you CALL and LABEL 'immateriality' is ACTUALLY FREE OF 'material' AT ALL.

Also, PLEASE DO NOT FORGET that what you CALL and LABEL AN 'area of immateriality' OTHERS MIGHT JUST BE CALLING and LABELING AS AN 'area of NO things' or AN 'area of nothingness'. Which, OBVIOUSLY, BOTH OF you are talking ABOUT the EXACT SAME 'thing', ITSELF. BUT, JUST WITH DIFFERENT WORDS and LABELS.

NOW, and by the way, what you HAVE DONE, here, and ARE DOING, here, is JUST REINFORCING and PROVING my CLAIMS, here, FURTHER TRUE, RIGHT, ACCURATE, and CORRECT.

See, if you want to SAY and CLAIM that there ARE 'areas of immateriality' AND 'areas of material', then GREAT. Like ALL ALONG, here, this HAS BEEN WORKING PERFECTLY, FOR me.
