Absence is a limit. For example my absence of strength in "x" defines me by what I am not...it is my limit. As a limit it is a positive, ie describing what a thing is by what it is not.

I am not this, I am not that, I am present and not absent, therefore I am beyond limitations.

Being "not absent" is a limitation as it defines something by what it is not. I am both present and absent and neither present nor absent.

As with separation, absence is perceived, and perceptions are limited by both form, and corruption of form.

Absolute perception is beyond form, relative perception is limited to form.
