Initiation Is Unavoidable -------- Foundational Limits of Absolute Nullity
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: We present a constraint-based computational investigation of absolute nullity defined as pre-initiability—a state in which not only physical laws, structure, and distinctions are absent, but in which the very possibility of initiating any process, evaluation, or attempt is forbidden. Unlike prior philosophical treatments, this work enforces explicit prohibitions on physical, logical, informational, causal, and evaluative primitives, initializing the system in a maximally eliminative pre-initiability null state. Under these conditions, the system fails to remain stable. Despite universal prohibition, minimal structure emerges, and the system terminates upon detecting forced initiation. This emergence is not externally imposed, permitted, or assumed, but arises as a direct consequence of the constraints themselves. The act of forbidding initiation constitutes an initiatory act, rendering absolute pre-initiability logically incoherent. These results establish a foundational limit on eliminative models and demonstrate that initiation is a non-eliminable primitive of any formal system capable of expressing constraints. The findings operate prior to logic, inference, evaluation, and observation, and impose fundamental constraints on theories of origins, pre-logical systems, and formal inquiry itself.
