That same rock perceives gravity and gravity perceives the rock by the ineraction/perception of the energy fields that each individual concept has, as a part of their existence.
A rock hitting a rock is "perception"?? A rock is an observer??!!
Wow, if you are going to redefine standard English as we go along, this will never come to a concensus.
Okay, if a rock can be an observer which "perceives" another rock upon hitting it, then change occurs and differences occur. With this twisted definition of "perceive", then "not" requires "perception".
So what have we gained? If all differences now require "observation", the only place no "observation" and no "perception" can occur is in a featureless void where nothing moves and nothing exists.
Given that such a place exists, it is not here. As a result, there are at least two "places" in the universe - one with features and one with none. Given the duality, the 1st law remains intact. The featureless void is not this corner of the universe. And this corner is not the featureless void part.

So, the equal fits in as a part of it, but only as a part.
After watching you redefine "perceive", I don't doubt that you can redefine existence and non-existence into meaning the same thing.
So, what have you gained by this feat of grammatical sleight of hand? Let's suppose that everything exists and does not exist? So, what? Of what benefit is that?
Moreover, how do you convince someone that their definitions of existence and non-existence are wrong, or at least, not as useful as yours? Sell me on why your definition of existence and non-existence are better and more useful.

Only a featureless void can have "a unique individual, with nothing to compare it to". If it is the "being" surrounded by nothing, then you have duality - that which is "the being" and that which is not (the surroundings of nothing). The only way to retain the singularity is to claim that there is nothing but the being - the being is featureless and is omnipresent and omnipotent. By your definition of perception, you can probably add omniscient to the list, too.

It has an existence, but only within certain parameters/variables of being perceived by something/ANYTHING that exists. Take away those parameters/variables, have nothing perceive it and that past ‘existence’ of nonexistence goes away.
Okay, you claim your “being” is not a void, but it is still featureless as well as omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. I think I'm still with you.

This is not clear at all. Are you saying that a perception is not a thing? Or are you about to say that this universal "being" is a single perception? If so, please say so.

Let's be nice. You obviously have a mindtrap of your own that you are struggling with. I suggest we stick with the facts (as poorly as they may appear before us).

I am trying to get out of my mindtrap, but you do not appear to be doing likewise. You redefine standard terms on the fly ("perceive", existence=non-existence, etc.), and the examples you try to make are not well-conceived. I am trying to adapt to your vocabulary and stay with the spirit of your examples inspite of them. So, bear with me.

(Okay, another breakpoint for the sake of the ToE software which choked again.)
