[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.
