I. The Null
The Null
Every civilisation has stood at the same edge and asked the same question: what was there before everything?
The Rigveda's Hymn of Creation answers with a riddle: "Then there was neither existence nor non-existence." Laozi wrote that the great sound is hard to hear. The mystics called it shunya, the void. Physicists call it the singularity.
They were all pointing at the same place: null.
Not empty. Unbegun.
