For any state to be a “possible state” in any logical system, it must obey the Law of Identity (A = A).
- The Paradox: If you define “Absolute Nothingness” as a state, you have assigned it an identity. If it has an identity, it must possess properties (e.g. the property of being “null” or “empty”).
- The Collapse: A state defined by the total absence of properties that simultaneously possesses the property of being that state is a formal contradiction.
- The Modal Impossibility: For a void to be a valid “starting point,” it would need to possess the property of Possibility. Since a property-less void cannot possess “possibility,” it is a non-state that cannot be a member of the set of potential realities.
