Bootstrapping Reality: The inconsistency of nothing

John, See the paper I linked recently in the "Solomonoff's induction" thread: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1712.01826.pdf In particular, it describes the same first person indeterminacy in the form of a faulty teleporter device thought experiment, and shows why this is an important and fundamental

It looks like Bruno's idea of extracting physics from all computations is catching on. I came across this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomonoff%27s_theory_of_inductive_inference And this idea (from the 1960s) is being used in recent papers, such as this one:

In another thread Brent suggested the "philosopher's nothing" was incoherent. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on establishing/proving its inconsistency. Thereby proving that something must exist. Here is some idea I had: 1. Premise: No thing (nothing) exists. 2. By "1" it follows that
