The Absence of Definition Paradox

If x is undefined then we are saying x is absent of definition. This absence is what x is not, it is a negative. This negative however defines x because it points to what it is not. Thus in saying something is indefinite we are contradictorily making a definition because this definition is negative in nature. Absence is definition as it is a limit to the thing observed.

Simplify the universe to a 3 color pixels (Blue, Green and Red).
How we define "Blue"?
We can say "that is Blue", pointing to the Blue pixel.
Or we can say that "Blue" is "no-Green and no-Red".
Both are definitions of "Blue".
There is no thing that has no definition. Every thing has a definition.
There is no contradiction, because there is no something like "an undefined thing". All things are defined.
If you think of "God", then, you are thinking about a "thing", and you are defining it, implicit or explicit.
The contradiction is when you say "God is undefined", because you are saying "God" and that is a "thing" in your mind you have had defined, to later say that "this defined thing in my mind is undefined".
If you dont do that, there is no contradiction.
Why u dont understand this yet?
