It seems that a hole must start out "holeless" before it can exist.
For example a hole in the ground must have been filled in at some point (probably with dirt) before it can start to exist. And any other hole must have had something inside of it before it can start existing. Would this be an infinite regress I wonder? Does this sound logical to you?

What does an airless hole need to really exist?
