Constrained by the limits of human logic, any directly posited First Cause willlapse into the Paradox of Infinite Regress. Instead of presupposing a cause, thispaper takes the two logical limits of the Law of Causation as rigid constraints,and directly derives the inevitable emergent result of the First Cause under FirstPrinciples. To terminate infinite regression, the logical starting point must beAbsolute Nothingness; under First Principles, the First Cause’s emergent result isnecessarily the Simplest Existence. The intrinsic nature of Absolute Nothingnessand its generative mechanism for the Simplest Existence will be elaborated in detailin the main text.This framework of Absolute Nothingness—the Simplest Existence constitutesthe epistemic limit of the First Cause accessible to human reasoning, and the solelogical starting point that must be accepted if one acknowledges a unified primordialorigin of the universe under First Principles.
