Quite an astute observation. I’ve been thinking about this quite heavily recently. It has odd occult references too in the sense of “nothing creates something.”
That which is measured, exists.
No measurement itself, as in of itself as a thing, is a thing that exists. You can measure 3cm but “3” and “cm” don’t exist. Virtual values assigned by consensus. All axioms are agreements. Truth or existence itself is convergent and resembles certainty only in the majority agreeing to it.
Imagination allows nothingness (imaginary things) to be measured.
Imagine any unit, give it a “rule” and now it can be measured!
Pretty interesting bridge between the “imaginary” and the “real.”
There’s so much nuance on what existence is, and isn’t, or even not is nor isn’t is depending on if you subscribe to classical logic based on what we currently describe as mostly Aristolian or if you use many-valued logics which are making a come back yet rooted in the Vedas...
I find this extremely profound and it’s one of my top focal areas of study right now.
It’s also related to my observation of disagreement, chaos, and behavior of the human animal. It seems the zeitgeist of the egregore lacks the ability to adjust perspective and see truth depending on the “rule/roles being played” (all disciplines are games/acting in a way).

Tons to unpack.
