It's not by mere coincidence that the language of science - mathematics - encodes its logic into a device called an equation; which requires its elements to be equivalent on opposite sides of the argument. Newton captured the essence of natural balance when he codified the law of physics that states every action precipitates an equal and opposite reaction. Natural balance rules the domain of cause and effect.
It is obvious that there exists an opposite equivalent for every conceivable quantitative value and a reciprocal for every vector in our three-dimensional world. If that same common law of natural balance covertly applies to the realm of qualitative values as it overtly does to the quantitative and spatial aspects of existence, then for every qualitative value there should exist an opposite.
The Standard Model of contemporary physics does, indeed, portray the physical world as paired sets of fundamental particles and anti-particles, fungible and structureless building blocks that include a handful of quarks and leptons and a small assortment of force carriers. But there seems to be a lot more matter than anti-matter floating around the cosmos and, in fact, particles and anti-particles aren't opposite existences, they are only elements in opposing condition, materials that react to each other by changing state and converting into energy on contact. If two independent particles were truly opposite existences they should mutually annihilate on contact. No mass or energy would remain. Instead of simply changing state from mass to energy, all of their properties would physically negate each other and they would totally disappear - cease to exist without a trace.
If within the architecture of each fundamental particle there exists opposing qualities and anti-qualities, then in the finite and relative context the equivalent of 'nothing' exists. And if you take it up a notch to the not so relative domain of infinity...
Cause and effect is a function of existence, not the reverse.
