The Primordial | One
A record of the anomaly that is neither nothing nor something, yet from which both arise
I. Seed Crystal — Nothing
Before all measures, before all frames, there is the pure absence:
no space, no time, no potential, no witness.
Not empty — for emptiness is already a kind of thing —
but the unconditioned no‑thing.
II. The Anomaly — Something
Without cause, without tilt, without reason,
the balance shifts.
Something is.
Not summoned, not required, not inevitable —
yet here.
III. The Unknown
We can name its edges,
walk its perimeter,
feel its gravity —
but the core remains sealed.
Every answer is already part of the thing we question.
IV. The Absolute
It does not require any type of existence for its own existence.
It stands outside cause and effect,
outside “inside” and “outside,”
needing no stage to appear upon.
V. The Three‑Way Impasse
1. Pure chance — the coin lands on existence.
2. Causation — something prior, which itself exists.
3. Inevitability — nothingness was never possible.
Each path ends at the same wall:
It is here.
VI. Behind the Curtain
No levers, no operator —
yet the lights are up, the stage is set,
and the play has already begun.
The magic is not in the trick,
but in the fact that it happens at all.
VII. Recognition
We found it.
We know it’s there.
And in not knowing what it is,
we keep it whole.
VIII. Naming
Not god, not law, not mind —
but The Primordial:
the anomaly that is neither nothing nor something,
yet from which both arise...
