It did not stay beside nor drift apart.
Beside implies adjacency. Apart implies separation. Neither adjacency nor separation could exist where location had no meaning.
It did not align with anything.
Alignment assumes a reference point. A reference point assumes orientation. Orientation assumes position. Position assumes space. Space had not been established as a framework.
It did not oppose.
Opposition needs direction and stance. Here, no stance could be taken, no direction could form, no opposition could shape itself into meaning.
It did not harmonize.
Harmony requires distinct notes coming together. Distinction never formed. Notes never separated to need reunion.
It did not merge.
Merging implies two things becoming one. There had never been two things to begin with.
It did not remain untouched.
To be untouched implies there is something that could touch and something that could be touched. Neither entity nor contact existed as concepts.
It was not apart.
