Postulating the Third Nothingness

Now the problem is this. True essence, true knowledge, true moral law, true Deity; Humans are always concerned with the True. We seek the absolute, we seek Truth (even when we do not realize it).

Thinking about the number two as a Platonic object or as a merely useful device in arithmetic separately never satisfy our desire to have the true knowledge of the true essence of the number two. We want to know what the number two really is in-and-of itself.
The same applies to Nothingness. Most of the time saying that there may be two Nothingness, either NS-Nothing and NN-Nothing never satisfy the desire to know Nothingness in-and-of-itself. Therefore, to complete my terminology of Nothingness, I shall postulate the Third nothingness

3. True Nothingness, NT-Nothing

So what is true nothingness? Like most beings, i have no clue. NT-Nothing may be NS-Nothing and/or NN-Nothing but it may be separate from them. For Heidegger, NS-Nothing is NT-Nothing, NN-Nothing is derived from NS-Nothing. While on the opposite end, to most modern men, NN-Nothing is NT-Nothing and NS-Nothing is just a product of human imagination. Still in reality, NN-Nothing and NS-Nothing may be distinct and may be derived from NT-Nothing. But I am not writing anything about their natures. The distinction in terminology does not imply a true distinction in their nature (if they have any, or if it is even appropriate to talk of natures). The NT-Nothing terminology, just like the first two nothingness merely helps us when we think and talk about nothingness, they are simply devices.
