Northwest Absolute nothingness is the complete absence of entities, properties, laws, conditions, potentialities, and causal powers. Because it contains nothing capable of producing, determining, or explaining an existent state, absolute nothingness cannot serve as the sufficient basis for the existence of something.
Since something exists and absolute nothingness cannot provide a sufficient basis for existence, the existence of reality requires either that existence is a brute fact or that there is a non-created, necessary foundation of existence. This hypothesis proposes that existence has such a necessary foundation rather than being a brute fact.
Necessary Reality is the fundamental aspect or aspects of reality whose nonexistence is impossible and upon which the existence of anything else ultimately depends. Necessary Reality is not created, because its existence is necessary rather than contingent.
