I liked your response, but I disagree a bit with what you said about there never being nothingness.
I liked the 0 = 1 idea and this is how I perceived it.
0 = unmanifested potential and as such nothingness
1 = manifested potential and as such beingness
Both being the very same infinite potential, nothingness being it not manifesting and beingness being it manifesting. I do think eternal nothingness has been but was lacking in itself and as such all desires to explore infinite potential of beingness emerged in all space/time time/space. Just as we are experiencing eternal beigness, we also have experienced eternal nothingness and both are closely linked to each other as the same infinity. Even in nothingness there was infinite potential.
I do think the first distortion of free will stating that "The Creator will know Itself" needs the concept of nothingness to work. Free will is the desire to manifest the potential that is/was unmanifested into Infinity and eternal nothingness. All potential comes to be desired to be manifested and by free will is manifested. Nothingness becomes the potential of beingness.
I've often had the thought : why am I not nothing? Why couldn't I be nothing? Wouldn't it be great to be nothing? Perhaps to be something, we also had to eternally be nothing and as such I cannot be nothing because I've also been nothing just as I am something.
