 We speak of the world of Aussersein, but in reality the objects which have no being do not constitute a world. They are a chaos of incoherent fragments….Between actual existents we can always discover a large number of intimate connections. Beyond the boundaries of being no such connections subsist: there is no fixed distance between Valhalla and the islands of the blessed, nor does the planet Vulcan exert a gravitational pull on the star of Bethlehem. (M: 56)
