EMERGENCE OF LOGIC
One of the fundamental properties of non-nothingness is its absolute logical necessity. It must exist in order to avoid the logical contradiction of “absolute nothingness” or “absolute non-being”. Non-nothingness is often thought to be a necessary ontological ground that provides a foundation for the physical world and its contingent phenomena such as quanta an qualia.
Does this mean that even the axioms of logic are caused by non-nothingness to exist because non-nothingness is the First Cause of all?
Non-nothingness does not create logic through a process occurring in time. At the most fundamental ontological level neither time nor physical entities have yet emerged. Rather, it establishes the substrate from which the logic arise.
Anything that exists (even the axioms themselves) must possess at least the attribute of determinacy: it must be what it is rather than what it is not. This elementary determinacy is expressed by the law of identity:
A = A Similarly, a determinate entity cannot both possess and fail to possess the same property in the same respect and at the same time. This is expressed by the law of non-contradiction:
¬(A∧¬A)
These logical principles are therefore not external laws imposed upon reality from outside. Nor should they be regarded as separate abstract objects that somehow existed before being. They are phenomena that emerge from the minimal structure inherent in determinate existence itself.
If necessary non-nothingness serves as the ultimate foundation of reality, how exactly does it generate specific physical properties— such as the discrete nature of quanta (quantitativity and additivity) or the laws of conservation?
Causality typically implies a temporal sequence or a relational link between a cause and its effect. In the case of non-nothingness, however, it does not "cause" logical axioms or physical phenomena in a traditional sense; rather, it provides the necessary ontological ground for their existence. In other words, the necessary existence of non-nothingness establishes the conditions that allow entities, physical properties, and logical axioms to be possible.
