“1”

*aka ‘one’*

(‘something’ + ‘anything’ are concepts of existence in ‘ontology’, contrasting with the concept of ‘nothing’)

(both are used to describe the understanding that what exists is not nothing without needing to address the existence of ‘everything’)

(the philosopher, ‘david lewis’, has pointed out that these are necessarily vague terms, asserting that “ontological assertions of common sense are correct if the quantifiers—such words as “something” and “anything”—are restricted roughly to ordinary or familiar things”)

(the idea that “something” is the opposite of “nothing” has existed at least since it was proposed by the Neoplatonist philosopher ‘Porphyry’ in the 3rd century)

(one of the most basic questions of both ‘science’ and ‘philosophy’ is: “why is there something rather than nothing at all?”)

(a question that follows from this is whether it is ever actually possible for there to be ‘nothing’ at all, or whether there must always be ‘something’)

(grammatically, “something and anything are commonly classified as pronouns, although they do not stand for another noun so clearly as does thing itself, a word always classified as a noun”)

“one”

(from proto-indo-european root “oi-no”)

“single”

“ton”

(‘1’ (one, also called unit, unity, and (multiplicative) identity) is a number, numeral, and glyph)

(it represents a single entity, the unit of counting or measurement)

(for example, a line segment of unit length is a line segment of length ‘1’)

(it is also the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by ‘2’)
