about

There is a wealth of information to be gleaned from the displacement of a thing. The subtle disturbances created, the effect on the surroundings, the change in atmosphere once the thing is absent. In fact, an entity's vacancy is as revealing of its nature as it's substance: the imprint left behind is teeming with details like a swarm of tiny sweat bees on an overripe cantaloupe. The absorption or radiation of energy is not the least of these, but other factors can also be just as relevant. A sense of completeness or its lack, and the attraction or conservation of other things' attention ('attention' intended here in a broader and not consciousness-oriented sense) can all reveal clues towards quiddity.

And, contrary to the accepted scientific precept, nature does not abhor a vacuum, because the existence of a vacuum is not a legitimate possibility. Once a thing -- or the residue of a thing, or even the concept of the potential of a residue of a thing -- has come into being, the entire universe is contaminated by it, and can never be disinfected of its presence -- or the absence of its presence, or the idea of the possibility of its presence being absent -- again. This contamination is not a question of contact or even proximity, because proximity itself is equally contaminating in nature: through the unremitting continuity of space, every location is proximate to some other location, and, thereby, inevitably by association and the relative nature of space, every location is ultimately proximate to every other location extant.
