near-vacuity
Can you please tell me what "near-vacuity" means here?
" In the traditional school definition, a noun "refers to a person, place, or thing." But as has often been pointed out, this definition incorrectly excludes nouns like those in (1) (unless the concept of thing is reduced to near-vacuity).
(1) explosion, glint, mind, moment, thunder, value"
