Blank Space

All Concepts Must Have a Representation

String languages treat the “blank space” as just another type of token, one that is given a specific meaning as a separator of strings that represent concepts. Concept, to exist, must be expressed by an arranged sequence of encoded tokens. Containers in contrast provide an internal emptiness that is not enlisted to distinguish concept from structure. The container boundary itself provides conceptual distinction. Emptiness, a contextual void, is then free to be employed as a structural tool. Concept can be implicit. Structure can be void-equivalent.
