To call this empty appearance “existent” gives it a solidity it does not possess—there's no entity, substance, or enduring reality. It’s just an appearance, empty of essence, never becoming anything. Yet to say it is “non-existent” also fails, because there is clearly something showing up—sights, sounds, sensations, the whole array of what appears. This empty appearance can’t be grasped as a thing nor denied as nothing. What appears can’t be possessed, defined, or negated. It simply shows up as it does—obvious, yet without any foundation or source.
