firstvoid

Firstvoid is a neologism used in speculative fiction, philosophy, and theoretical discussions to denote a primordial void—the earliest state of non-being from which existence or possibilities may emerge. It functions as a conceptual placeholder rather than a defined scientific term.

Coined from the combination of first and void, the term signals a pre-cosmic or pre-existent condition. Its precise meaning varies by context, ranging from an abstract, ineffable state to a narrative device describing the boundary between nothingness and being.

In philosophy, firstvoid is invoked to explore questions about existence, potentiality, and the limits of thought. Some discussions treat it as a useful abstraction for contemplating how something can arise from non-being, while others argue that “non-being” cannot be coherently described.

In science fiction and related media, firstvoid appears as a source of origin for universes, a liminal space containing the seeds of reality, or a reservoir of latent possibilities accessed by advanced technologies or mystic practices.

Because firstvoid is not standardized, interpretations are highly variable. Critics emphasize that terms describing nothingness risk overextension if taken as literal ontological claims; proponents view it as a flexible metaphor for the origin of existence.
