      Does nonexistence exist?

      If nonexistence exists, then how is it nonexistence? If nonexistence does not exist, then how is it not between two triangles that share a side? Also, (Marc's idea in another thread) if nonexistence does not exist, does the nonexistence of nonexistence exist? If it does, wouldn't that be an example of how nonexistence does exist?
      You are dreaming right now.

      nonexistence nonexists, just as neither existence nor nonexistence doesn't exist nor nonexist

      Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.

      "Non-existence" exists as merely a concept and nothing more.

      Otherwise, there's nothing to talk about.

      Then what is between two rectangles that share a side?
