D friends, Yep, off topic for sure, but this is the best ng that I know of to get quick answers :-) May I please have your suggestions for the next English word that comes semantically/mathematically in sequence. Ideally the word ends in "ty" and the semantic sequence is obviously to do with the predecessor (cardinality-wise) of "Singularity". Plurality, Singularity, .. I've got some ideas of my own but do not want to preempt answers. btw. From my googling of anthropological conceptuality, it appears that "oneness" and "manyness" are well-understood concepts but that the concept of "ziltch" is much less featured in lay-society. Cheers Justin Johansson

Justin Johansson <no spam.com> On my search for "none-ity" I came across this web domain which has a visually interesting home page. http://www.void.com/ While having not explored the content as yet, I wonder how many geeks (like myself) have been there before? Cheers Justin Johansson

...naughty? :) But seriously, how about nullity? Or perhaps triviality? -Lars

Being 10pm in my neck of the woods, and being a late night meal-time eater, I was just having a mouthful of my wife's stupendous ham and bacon pea soup when I read your reply and splat in laughter about your suggestion of "naughty". As I write this reply, I am still picking out the remnants of split pea husks from my keyboard. :-( This is quite serious; my keyboard may now might need replacing. To be more serious, I just happened across the word "nihility" http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=nihility but I don't think "nihility" really means "none-of-ity" rather than it means more about the absence of anything including a "zerality" of things. Hey, maybe "zerality" should be coined as a new English word? <void>Justin</void>

BTW, is "singularity" ever used to describe one-ness? (I know "singular" is, but I'm not so sure about the "-ty"-form".) In all contexts I have encountered it, it means infinite-ness. I'd think "unity" was the right word. -Lars

I've always seen it as "infinitely small" or just "black hole" (in the cosmological sence.)

Nullity? Best I can come up with.
