    Keyword "nothing". No thing, therefore no value.

    As accountant if the sums of all the numbers on the credit side and the debit side were equal the difference would be 0, which always made me a happy guy.

    But nothing as in the possession of things , not nothing as the absolute elimination of the thing .

    I agree. The object itself would be destroyed, but parts of the object, could remain. (see above)

    But the values the word nothing was referring to was food , or money, not the refrigerator or the bank.

    Assets etc.

    The parts of the object could never remain

    You, yourself saw the refrigerator and food as a single object. But take the food away, the refrigerator remains.

    It answered your statement, that parts could ever remain. Destroyng the food does not destroy the refrigerator which you identified as a single compound object.

    I was referring to your post # 159
    The frigde would remain as well as the bank account. There would be zero assets in them.

    If that is not yet clear, I can't make it more precise.
    I have posted my thoughts on the matter as best as I know how.

    Then you do not understand the fundamental essence of the material Universe .

    How so ?

    What I find sometimes is that people come to an irrational conclusion based on their inability to understand the orignal thought .

    Sometimes I find that people come to original but irrational examples of their understanding.
    In that case their examples can be proven to be irrational by the application of critical thinking.

    I do agree that my example of a façade of a house was flawed. It is 2 dimensional (height and width), but without depth it is and remains 2D (discounting the depth of the wood used in the façade)

    Our minds add the mathematical third dimension of the buildings because our mirror neural system expects that to be the case, but that is strictly illusionary and it works very well in a two dimensional representation on a movie screen.
