    Hmm. I think non-existence would be better envisioned by closing one of your eyes, rather than both. Is that blackness on the other side? I can't make a strong case for it but I don't think it is - it's just voidness. But also, I think you can't have black nor it's implied white without an essence by which they appear so non-existence is just voidness. I don't know.
