Pure arithmetic suggests that the 'nothing' of your own viewpoint can
be had with a unidirectional algebra. This has been overlooked because
nobody bothered to generalize sign. The behavior of one-signed numbers
allow them to have an algebra even while their geometry is nill, or
nearly nill. The spacetime paradigm of unification of space with time
is probably a more apt paradigm. I'm guessing that you refute the
spacetime paradigm.

Through polysign the spacetime paradigm is of structured spacetime
P1 P2 P3 ...
There is a natural breakpoint in product behavior in P4+ so the
progression can go onward and still maintain support for spacetime
with unidirectional zero dimensional time. Incidentally there is a ten
dimensional form as P5- that is inherently branish. I call this T5,
and the P3- version would be T3.

That's a tautology. Time of "zero duration" necessitates the concept of
temporal duration. The fact that it is zero doesn't absolve it from that
necessity.

You must pay close attention to the grammar and style of writing. What
is "generalize sign"? If you are disposed to technical languages don't
compromise plain English for it.

Is there clubcard points?

No no - by "association" I meant, and I repeat,

'rather than say "A comes before B" we can, without losing information,
say "that A, rather than B, is associated with C, says that A comes
before B"'
