Zero Principle
Picture a number line stretching to infinity in both the positive and negative direction. Let this line represent the total of all things that exist. The number zero sits at the midpoint of this line. It is neither positive nor negative. It represents nothing, yet if we sum all of the numbers to the right with all of the numbers to the left we are once again left with zero. Zero also represents the sum of everything.
Matter and energy are one in the same, and regardless of the form, it is always here and never lost. This universe of matter/energy is the substance represented by zero. It is infinite, continually in flux, one day fashioned into soil, absorbed by a tree to become an apple, an apple eaten to become a person. So the cycle goes.
Duality is a requirement of this world. It creates the dynamic that puts the world into motion. Male/female, hot/cold, up/down, positive/negative, pleasure/pain, zero/infinity, one does not exist without the other. Zero is where these pairs of opposites balance and become one.
Zero represents maximum entropy, so while the world is in perpetual motion, only zero exists without change.
As a glyph, the ring represents an unending world and the center represents the nothing.
In a metaphysical sense Zero represents the Source of all things and yet is No-thing. It is the field of standing energy that all creation emanates from. It is the immortal thing from which all mortal things spring. Nothing and Everything, it is inherently indestructible.
