To me,       anything that is not nothing "exists". Anything that is not nothing is part of       reality. Of course, it only exists in the sense in which it is defined (and it       should be defined        consistently in relation to itself and to everything else, because       inconsistently defined "objects" are nothing)."       > >        > > Cartesian!       >        > But what is nothing? Even an empty void is something.              An empty void is indeed something, not nothing. It is a mathematical structure       with certain mathematical properties.              Nothing is absence of something. It has no identity. Every something has an       identity, which means that it is identical to itself and different from what       it is not - it is what it is and is not what is not. In other words, every       something is consistently        defined. A circle that is not a circle, is nothing.               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
