Existence-Non-Existence is fundamentally undefinable.

Can a statement speak of itself? Can it describe itself? Well, of course it seems. For example, statements, “This statement is about Truth” or “This statement is True/False”, describe themselves. But can a moment, an instant, an event, or a state describe or define or measure or “look upon” itself? For it to make a mention of itself, it should include the description of the state which then in turn includes the mention of the state being mentioned or considered. But then, this has more in addition than the state that’s been described – namely the description of the state. This then makes up other new state that speaks of that state being mentioned. So, this state is basically a ‘state of description’ of the state being described, and not that described-state itself, it’s a different state altogether. So the answer is no, a state/event/moment cannot speak of itself. If statement represents a state or is basically a state, such statements cannot describe or talk about itself either.

For example, consider the state of our own experience. The moment in which we are present, cannot be described. As the description initiates, the state has changed. So, one cannot be in a particular state and describe that state of being, being in the same state of existence. Now because ‘state’ is what defines ‘existence’, and is what truly “exists”, existence when described is no more an existence. As the description/definition of the state/existence comes into being, the state has changed, and that state being described is non-existent, and the ‘state of description’ of that now non-existent state is the state that exists (or is the existence). So existence when spoken of, ceases to exist and is non-existence. Therefore, existence cannot be defined or described.

So, a state cannot describe/define/measure itself. For example, consider a state in which a person P is eating at 10:01:11:19:20, call this state A. If the person describes this, the state of its being will not be the state of the description of this mentioned state A, but some other state. Let this state describing state A be state B. State A is non-existent and state B exists. If state A is described by some other observer or state, this ‘other’ state is not state A. It maybe some state #, but it’s not state A. Also for any state other than state A, state A does not exist. This is because, for something to exist that thing must be experiencable, and for any state K, the state K is the one that’s experiencable and any other state A is not experiencable. Yes, state K may involve description of state A, but state K is not state A, and therefore any state K cannot experience any other state A. To be and to experience is the same, and to be and describe is not. Any state K is the “Not-state” or the “Not-statement” or the complement of any other state A. One cannot experience the other, one does not exist for the other.
