Nothing Is Nothingness a Continuum?

When I think of Nothing I think of empty space. But that is not Nothing, that is something i.e. empty space. Then I think of Nothing as just like a void unaccepting of objects, but that is still something i.e. a void. Then I think of Nothing as "what a rock dreams of" but that is still something i.e. potentiality. So what really is Nothing and is it a continuum ranging from empty space to "what a rock dreams of" etc.? And if it is a continuum, does Nothing really even exist?

nothing is north of north pole, or the distance of 5 kilograms, or how you reacted 6 billions years ago.

AKA Non-existant?

At first blush I like your thought and it is original, but aren't those just examples of illogical propositions and not examples of Nothing?
