Abstract :
We examine the fundamental origins of logic and show how these fundamentals are related to basic concepts of space, time, objects, and events used in both physics and computing. We attempt to show how a universe can be constructed beginning not from first principles, but from no principles. Several possible implications for physics and mathematics are also discussed
