The Impossibility of "Nothing" and a Structural Account of the Universe

This paper argues that the concept of “nothingness” is not merely epistemically inaccessible but structurally impossible. By analyzing the minimal conditions required for thought, observation, and explanation, it is shown that any coherent account of the universe presupposes a prior structural existence. The universe is therefore not an emergence from nothing, but a non-reversible differentiation within an already-existing total structure. This work proposes a structural cosmological framework in which time, causality, and observation arise as internal rearrangements rather than as products of creation ex nihilo.
