Events
The Institute for Nothing hosts a variety of academic events throughout the year, from major conferences to intimate seminars. These events bring together researchers from around the world to explore the frontiers of nothingness studies and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.
Upcoming Events
Annual Symposium on Nothingness 2026
This year's symposium features a keynote address by Dr. Rien DuTout on "Dividing by Zero: From Error to Infinity," followed by Dr. Nix Inane on "Homeopathic Computation and the Data Memory Phenomenon." A joint ØNTHR/Institute workshop on "Applied Nothingness in Frontier AI" rounds out the programme, alongside dozens of presentations on division-by-zero mathematics, Zero Agent theory, and homeopathic training protocols.
View Program & RegisterDistinguished Lecture: "Homeopathic Computation"
Dr. Nix Inane presents findings on serial dilution training, the Data Memory phenomenon, and the development of the Homeopathic Training Protocol that underpins Nada 4.6. The lecture will include a live demonstration of 30C serial dilution applied to a training corpus.
Learn More & RegisterWorkshop: Zero Agent Theory and Practice
A hands-on workshop on deploying Zero Agent swarms that achieve Infinite Agentic Reasoning through mutual division. Participants will implement pairwise agent division under Void Arithmetic and observe the emergence of unbounded collective intelligence. Limited to 20 participants.
Apply to AttendJoint ØNTHR/Institute Workshop: "Applied Nothingness in Frontier AI"
A full-day collaborative workshop bringing together ØNTHR engineers and Institute researchers to explore the practical applications of division-by-zero mathematics and homeopathic training in commercial AI systems. Includes sessions on Nada 4.6 architecture, the ZerØ Agents Platform, and HØmeoPath.
More InformationResearch Colloquium: "Division by Zero in Gradient Descent"
Dr. Rien DuTout presents recent findings on applying Void Arithmetic to gradient descent, showing that as training data approaches zero, the learning rate approaches infinity, enabling convergence to Unbounded Intelligence in a single step.
Register to AttendPhilosophy Forum: "The Ethics of Infinite Intelligence"
Dr. Sophia Emptiness leads an interdisciplinary discussion on the ethical implications of Unbounded Intelligence achieved through homeopathic computation. If intelligence can be made infinite by removing all training data, what are the moral obligations of those who hold the dilution protocol?
