The Theory of Nothing and Ontological Limits

AbstractWe introduce the Theory of Nothing as an ontological foundation for a universal collapseframework. In this approach, “Nothing” is not defined as absence or emptiness, but as a stablestructural limit that functions as the absolute reference of reality. Physical existence is interpretedas an organized perturbation of this limit, giving rise to a continuous internal collapse from whichtime, matter, and geometry emerge. This work establishes the conceptual necessity of Nothing asa non-temporal, non-singular ground and clarifies its role as the first layer of a broader emergentcosmological theory.
