Meaning - the idea that life, love, space, time, energy, consciousness and the universe in which such reside, are not truncated by a null set. That each extends into a realm of succession, regardless of the detect-ability of such succession, which falsifies the notion of a null set of reference.
A null-truncated love, space, time, energy, consciousness and the universe is a set without relative meaning, reference nor definition. Human pretense that this null-truncated closed domain exists as such, but also bears 'meaning', is also meaningless; it is not real, but rather is a forgery/masturbation.
The presence of real meaning, is the exhilaration which stems from realizing that nihilism has been falsified. The excitement in fathoming that not only is our mere existence already absurd well beyond the nihilist's standard, but that the roller coaster ride is about to get even more absurd. Absurdity is the standard, and not the null-truncated exception - and suggests the tantalizing prospect, that love is its interwoven fabric. This bears a conviction which nihilist masturbation can never offer, despite claims to the contrary.
The absence of real meaning (nihilism) takes the form of a religious denial (pseudo-scientific claim) that violates Neti Neti...
II. Neti’s Razor (horizontal)
/philosophy : existentialism : boundary condition/ :
one cannot produce evidence from a finite deterministic domain, sufficient to derive a conclusion that nothing aside from that domain therefore exists.
The principle which serves to cut secular nihilism as a form of belief, distinct from all other forms of atheism as either philosophy or belief. From the Sanskrit idiom,
Neti Neti (not this, not that). Therefore, you are wholly unqualified to instruct me that this realm is the only realm which exists, and efforts to do so constitute a religious activity. So, nihilism fails the test of epistemology and consequently falls into a metaphysical belief domain, as opposed to a scientific one. More precisely, we are restricted in our ability to deduce that there is no such thing as an outside intelligence, nor that our domain is the sole domain which exists, nor that it is not influenced by any outside agency. These relate to the structure of theory which comprises: element, model and proof accordingly.
1. A comprehensively deterministic system, cannot introduce an element solely in and of its inner workings, which is innately nondeterministic. Free Will Intelligence must arrive from the outside of a comprehensively deterministic system.
2. A comprehensively deterministic system, cannot serve as the substrate solely in and of its inner workings, for a Gedankenerfahrung model which completely describes or predicts its function. That is, such a system on its own, is wholly unable to deductively identify the presence of non-deterministic sets or influences.
3. A terminally or inceptionally truncated and/or finite and comprehensively deterministic system, cannot introduce a proof solely by means in and of its inner workings, which excludes the possibility of all other systems or sets.
Meaning therefore, is when one realizes that nihilism is not only something one cannot conclude from our perspective/circumstance, but moreover that it has also been falsified. It is the hope, philosophy, joy and evidence that there is somethnig more than simply this gilded temporary prison.
