voidness
State of nothingness
Voidness is the quality or state of being void—empty, vacant, or without content.
The term appears in legal contexts where a contract's voidness means it has no legal force.
In philosophical or spiritual writing, voidness describes absolute emptiness or the absence of substance: Buddhist teachings on the voidness of all phenomena.
