The Foundation That Cannot Hold

Before the Universe Could Begin, Nothing Had to Break. We are used to asking: How did the universe begin? We rarely ask: What was there before the beginning? Science tells us that 13.8 billion years ago, there was a Big Bang. But the Big Bang was an event. Every event requires a stage. Every explosion requires a fuse. Every "something" requires a prior condition to make it possible. This is the story of that prior condition. In Volume 0: The Foundation That Cannot Hold, Azhar Feili takes us on a vertigo-inducing descent into the "Non-Frame"—the absolute boundary of existence where logic, math, and time dissolve. This is not a book about physics, but about the physics of metaphysics. It maps the treacherous territory before the first particle, before the first law, and before the concept of "existence" even applied. This is the Prequel to When Problems Create Intelligence**.** If the first book explained how the universe solves problems, Volume 0 explains why the universe is a problem in the first place. It argues that reality did not start with a bang, but with a failure—a fundamental instability in the nature of "Nothing" that made existence inevitable. Discover the Architecture of the Void: Level 0 (The Non-Frame): The condition before conditions can exist. The Mirror Test: Why absolute "Nothing" is a logical paradox that triggers its own collapse. The Unborn Void: How the perfect silence of pre-reality was shattered by the necessity of being. Forget the "void" of the mystics. Forget the "vacuum" of the physicists. This is the anatomy of the impossible. Read this book if: You enjoyed When Problems Create Intelligence and want to see the blueprint behind the machine. You are fascinated by the "Hard Problem" of existence (Why is there something rather than nothing?). You are ready to explore a philosophy that starts where quantum mechanics stops. The foundation cannot hold. And that is why we are here.
