[MD] The SOM/MOQ discrepancy.

[Krimel]

[Ham]
In logic and mathematics, the first differentiation is a division of the
prime (number) into two.  In metaphysics, nothingness is the agent of
division which results in the existential dichotomy Sensibility/Otherness.
Experiential reality (being-aware) is actualized from this dichotomy.

[Krimel]
G. Spencer Brown in an attempt to build a mathematics out of shear logic
maintained that to get a mathematics, any mathematic, the first step is to
"draw a distinction" that is, to establish a relationship. I suspect the
first distinction might be between something and nothing or between 0 and 1.
This was a distinction so metaphysically abhorrent to the Greeks that they
intentionally rejected it. They refused to acknowledge or use O. It wasn't
until nearly a thousand years later that the number 0 was available to the
west.

But in no sense is nothing an "agent." Nor does it make any sense to speak
of sensibility as metaphysical. Sensibility is property of living things. It
is a system of feedback. It is a property of relationship not relationship
itself.
