Hence, if 'something' refers to a thing at time t, it cannot refer to a non-thing at different time.

He insists, in fact, that "Imagination is the widest known thing" because "it exercises its properties through its reality over every thing and non-thing.
Accordingly he faces the same difficulty that these others also had to face, i.e. determining the ontological status of such a thing (or non-thing).
