There is Something rather than Nothing — existence is the first bit.

Formal Statement
P0 (Origin): There is Something rather than Nothing. Existence is not a default state; it is an active assertion against the void.

Objections & Defense
Objection
Leibniz's Question
"Why is there something rather than nothing? This is a question, not an answer.
Objection
Buddhist Sunyata (Emptiness)
"All phenomena are empty of inherent existence. Reality is ultimately void." Response: Sunyata is not absolute nothingness but the absence of inherent, independent existence.
Objection
Simulation Skepticism
"We might be in a simulation, so 'existence' is virtual, not real." Response: Virtual existence is still existence. A simulation exists as a pattern of information in whatever substrate runs it.
Collapse Analysis
Collapse Radius: None
If P0 fails: EVERYTHING collapses. The entire Theophysics edifice—indeed, any possible discourse—presupposes existence: - No physics (nothing to describe) - No consciousness (no one to be conscious) - No information (no distinctions to encode) - No logic (no propositions to evaluate) - No theology (no God, no creation, no worship, no anything) - No mathematics (no objects to quantify over) P0 is uniquely unfalsifiable by argument because arguments presuppose it. The only "evidence" against P0 would be the non-existence of everything—including the evidence.
