This work explores a structural correspondence between disordered physical systems and relational ontologies, focusing on spin glass energy landscapes and Madhyamaka philosophy. Building on recent empirical results, we show that spin glass systems do not exhibit a universal structural phase transition. Instead, their behavior is governed by statistical regularities, particularly heavy-tailed distributions of energy gaps, without global organization of the solution space. This contrasts with generative latent models, where a universal sigmoid collapse emerges, leading to a dominant configuration. The absence of such a collapse in spin glasses provides a clear counterexample to structural universality. We interpret this distinction as a formal parallel to the Madhyamaka concept of emptiness: the absence of intrinsic, self-established structure coexisting with stable, conventional patterns arising from dependent conditions. This work does not claim a physical realization of philosophical doctrine, but rather identifies a shared structural logic between complex disordered systems and non-essentialist ontologies.
