death = Yields non-existence when combined with the self.

Self = Yields non-existence when combined with death

death combined with the self = (yields non-existence when combined with
the self) + (yields non-existence when with death)

So now we have proven that "death combined with the self" is exactly
the same as, death and the self combined. Which shows that death
combined with the self, is non-existant. So we find a important
contradiction, because niether of the statements are non-existent when
looked at seperately.

"Yields non-existence when combined with the self", is true, and exists
as long as it isn't combined with the self.

And "Yields non-existence when combined with death", is true, and
exists as long as it isn't combined with death.

But once you combine them and they yield non-existence, then you have
to evaluate the existence of the final combination.

So "Death combined with the self" is non-existant, and so we can never
combine death with the self.

While assuming that both "death" and "self" are existent, and we define
existance as truth, and non-existence, as false, we can then say that
death combined with its experience is an impossibility.
But both Death & The Self exist seperately.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
bool kill(bool self){ // Yields non-being "false" when death is
                     //combined with self
        if(self==true){
                return false;
        }
                else{
                        return true;
                }
        }

bool create(bool death){ //Yields non-being "false" when self is
                        //combined with death
        if(death==true){
                return false;
        }
                else{
                        return true;
                }
}

void main(){
bool self=false; //Death and Self both set to non-existent.
bool death=false;

self=create(death); //In the absence of death, self is born.

if(self==true){
        printf("Self Created./n"); //Self is created
        death=kill(self); //And then destroyed
        }
                else{
                        printf("Failed to create self./n");
                }

if(death==true){
        printf("Self killed./n"); //But are we sure we have killed the Self?
        return 0;
        }

else{
        printf("Failed to kill self./n"); //Or does the Self still live?
        }

return 0;
}
