    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Possible spatial relations exist as abstract structures independent of physical instantiation, forming a coherent framework.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Nothingness can ground potentiality without actuality, as potentiality is logically prior to actualization in modal metaphysics.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Extension as a framework differs from extended particulars; it can subsist as relational scaffolding without concrete occupation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.If nothingness instantiates anything, including frameworks, it ceases being nothing—creating a logical contradiction in the claim.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Possible spatial relations require a grounding in some substrate (mathematical, conceptual, or physical); bare nothingness provides none.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Potentiality divorced from actuality becomes indistinguishable from mere logical possibility, making 'instantiation' metaphysically vacuous.
