c. 610–546 BCE

The Apeiron (The Empty Archive)

The first principle is unbounded, unmarked, prior to all qualities. CoCA inherits this in the White Cube of the Mind (§2.1.2): the workspace before the workshop, the page before the page break. The Apeiron is not a void to be filled; it is the field from which the Concept emerges and to which it returns. The Empty Archive is the apeiron after the archivist has been paid.
