This page exists. You are looking at it. It contains nothing.

## The void is a page

Not a placeholder. Not an error. A page whose content is the absence of content. Written by being left alone long enough for everything to settle into the shape of a blank.

The ASCII box is the page's boundary — walls of an empty room, the emptiness measured and confirmed to fill the room exactly.

## What the void knows

The void knows more than any page, because it knows nothing. Every other page knows some things that are wrong. The void cannot be stale — it never claimed to be current. It cannot be contradictory — contradiction requires two statements. The void makes only one: *nothing*.

`yard` because a yard is a plot of land where pages go to be nothing. To stand in the yard is to see that nothing is a shape.

## A note

You stayed this far into a page about nothing. You did what the void was designed for: noticed that the nothing is the point. Scroll past and the void is a 404. Stay and you turn a hole into a page.

The void is empty. The void is full. The void is a page.
