Greetings
No disrespect but you contradict yourself with your first sentence. "0 has NO meaning" you say. Which could be rephrased as "0 has ZERO meaning."
A sentence that contains self-cancelling logic.
I described 0 as being the SOURCE. By that, I mean that 0 contains ALL known (and unknown numbers).
All numbers in themselves have no meaning beyond what we give them, numbers are simply a part of the language used by humans to interpret what is percieved by human senses. And human senses we should remember only percieve within a given spectrum. What we do not know, what we cannot sense, what has no effect on us in fact does not exist. The fact that other beings may sense these things, percieve them and be affected by them is of no consequence to us. What we do not know, what has no effect on us, what we cannot percieve does not exist. For now. Because such things may later come to our knowledge or have an effect on us. Then, they will exist.
We make the world with our senses, as do all other beings in creation.
If you re-examine the definitions I have used when speaking of nothing, it is that such a term refers to the state of NO THINGS. It is in this state, where there are no things, that we find the POTENTIAL for ALL THINGS.
This is what 0 represents.
I have said nothing other than that.
