Abstract
In Infinite Immensity, the Container of all things, where there is nothing below, nothing above, nothing up, nothing down, to the right or to the left, where there is no center, nor middle, nor end and where nothing is removed nor is near at hand, nothing here, nothing there etc., the world exists. Consequently it is undoubtedly the case that the world is nowhere (if no other worlds exist with respect to which this world’s position can be fixed).
