Nihilism

Time is relational and either finite or infinite — the nihilist is indifferent to the distinction, since neither option confers meaning. Time is continuous, linear, and non-directional: it flows, but toward nothing. There is no telos, no progress, no redemption in time — only the mechanical succession of events in an indifferent universe.

Space is relational and either finite or infinite — its extent is irrelevant since neither vastness nor smallness yields meaning. Its curvature is undefined because the nihilist denies that any spatial description carries metaphysical weight. Space is non-local in the sense that no place is privileged or significant.

Matter is relational and either finite or infinite — it exists in the minimal physical sense, but its existence carries no inherent significance. Conservation holds as a physical regularity without any deeper justification. Matter is non-local in significance: no configuration of matter is more meaningful than any other.

Pre-existing and finite — energy exists in the physical sense but has no inherent significance or purpose. Conservation: Conserved according to physical laws that themselves have no ultimate justification or meaning. Usage: Once — entropy ensures that usable energy dissipates toward a heat death in which all processes cease; the fitting conclusion of a purposeless universe.

Information has no intrinsic meaning or value — it is a human projection onto an indifferent cosmos. The nihilist denies that any information is inherently significant. Information is emergent only in the weak sense that patterns exist, but they carry no weight. It is non-conserved because without meaning, preservation is irrelevant. It is continuous because there is no meaningful unit of information — just undifferentiated noise.
