"To a monocular perception process, multiple presence constitutes absence of the exclusive presence of any particular one. Therefore such a multiple presence is moncularly unperceivable, and hence becomes a zero to monocular detection process. This allows new definitions of zero, and a solution to the problem of nothing.

"Consider that a monocular detection process asks the question, "Is there a single exclusive thing present in my input?" If the answer is yes, an output is generated and perception occurs. If the answer is no, no output is generated and perception does not occur. The answer "no" occurs in two fashions: either total absence, or presence of two or more simultaneously. For either of these cases, monocular perception gives no output, and perception does not occur, i.e., the absence of perception occurs.

"Now note that the monocular perception cannot tell any difference in the two input conditions. To it, there is no distinction between the two conditions. The lack of any difference at all constitutes identity. Thus to a monocular perception process, condition one is identical to condition two when they are infolded together in condition three. That is fact derives the fourth law of logic. Total absence and multiple, un-separated presence are identical insofar as a monocular detection process is concerned."
