Here's another example. The framework of colour is as 'nothing' to the framework of sound. Red is not found in the framework of sound and loud is not found in the framework of colour (barring artistic equivocation).

So, if I live in the framework of sound and the entire framework of sound and its sound-objects disappear, then I am no more entitled to say that because of this disappearance that there is 'nothing', any more than I can say that there is the framework of colour and its colours.



Your framework is only a generator and then a container.
Although it generates all kinds of objects (the potential),
the container (the here and now) can be empty.

No reason to assume that framework disappears when container
is empty. So take your blue (not the red one) pill and
read some of the old greeks, something about actual
and potential.

I am saying that without sound, we can say that there is nothing or that there is colour. Nothing and colour amount to the same thing as far as sound objects go.
