After doing some thinking and going over the previous posts I've come to the conclusion that A={Non-esistence}={} is correct. To elaborate, for example, if you have a parking lot with 24 Green Cars, no other cars. You want to group them into seperate sets of cars with colour properties of red and green:
A={Red Cars}
B={Green Cars}
However, since there are no cars in the parking lot that match the red colour property, A is the empty set:
A={Red Cars}={}
Extending that to our problem, we must find items that match the properties of non-existence (ie: they have no effect on anything and
nothing affects them (they don't even affect themselves)).
A={Non-existence}//all items with the properties of non-existence
B={Existence}//all items with the properties of existence
However, we cannot find an item to put in set A because any time we find an item we either affect it or it affects us. As such, all items that can be found will go into set B, making set A truly empty (A={}).
Consequently, the definition that Everything is all that exists is correct but simplified to its lowest form. To elaborate: Everything is all that exists as well as all that is non-existant. It just so happens that when the logic is run through the {} has no effect thus it is excluded (keeping it or leaving it has no effect so it it reduced for simplicity).

Does "nothing" exist? Isn't it true that it both does and doesn't?

The idea or concept of "nothing" does exist. But actual, physical "nothing" does not exist. It has all the properties of Non-Existence and none of the properties of Existence.
I'll have to think on that time bit though...
