"absolute non-existence and absolute existence are identical."


This doesn't make any sense. It's like saying A = ~A.

Non-existence is not a thing, its the absence of anything. To say something and nothing are the same thing is nonsensical, because nothing is not a thing.

The point I've been trying to make here is that being and non-being, existence and nonexistence, is not a duality of one thing. Non being is the absence of being. No, the wave form analogy does not work. The ones and zeros in a binary square wave do not stand for being and non-being; they simply represent two logic states, both of which fall under being.

"Non-existence" is a term that represents a specific thing, concept, idea, etc. If this thing truly does not exist, what's at the other end of the term? All that is conventional exists at least conventionality. Everything exists, in its own way. Nothing is absolutely non-existent. Absolute non-existence is absolute (and absolutely subtle) existence.

In the end there is no duality because nothing doesn't exist.

"It's an incredibly simple concept both logically and commonsense wise. Everything that is has existence and falls under the umbrella of being. If you try to also put things that don't exist under the umbrella of being, then the only thing you have accomplished is to render the term nonsensical."

That's what I'm saying. I think we are saying the same thing in different ways.

When I say "absolute non-existence and absolute existence are identical" I mean to say there is no duality, everything exists (as you also say). Everything exists, everything is true in its own way.
