A whack thread about things

I put this forward as a kind of thought experiment - of a most unusual kind. An experiment in pure logic, but also bamboozling; a thing of impeccable order, yet inexplicable. For it questions, "what is a 'thing'?" And the answer to that, dearies, lies at the bottom of a very deep rabbit hole.

How far you want to go?

This is the thought experiment:

Imagine there is a thing but you you don't know what it is. It could literally be anything! (but it doesn't have to be).

You have no idea, so come closer to that feeling of 'unknowingness', see what unknowingness is like, its empty possibility... how is that unknowing seen to be...

That's the 'thing'.

What is it?
