Self-Verification and the Impossibility of Absolute Nothingness

This paper presents a structural argument against the coherence of absolute nothingness. Rather than treating nothingness as a linguistic negation, psychological limitation, or physical vacuum, the analysis approaches it as a determinate metaphysical claim that must satisfy its own truth conditions. It is argued that if absolute nothingness were to obtain, it would necessarily verify itself as empty. This self-verification entails positive logical structure, including self-identity, unity, and validation. Because absolute nothingness is defined as the absence of all structure, the successful satisfaction of its own conditions results in a contradiction. The paper concludes that absolute nothingness is therefore impossible, and that any coherent account of reality must begin from a minimally structured ground. The argument is developed within the tradition of analytic metaphysics and remains neutral with respect to theology, physical cosmology, and specific truthmaker theories.
