Title: "Ordinary Absence: Ought a Metaphysical Ontology Include Nothing?"

This paper is an exploration of 芒鈧渘othing芒鈧劉 that draws from several sources, including analytic ontology, classical Chinese philosophical Daoism, philosophy of mathematics, and existential philosophy. Once 芒鈧渘othing芒鈧劉 is situated within a metaphysical ontology, it begins to proliferate into different kinds, presentations, or potentials, and it even appears on the set of ethical decision-making. All puns are non-vacuously intended.
