When thinking of “Non existence”, which is a concept – and every concept is associated with something that is conceivable, usually something along the lines of the “blackest black” or perhaps a physical sensation of “sucking within” – like a straw pulling your insides out of a higher dimension from your gravitational core – SOMETHING will substitute for the concept of non-existence and represent it.
I like to think of it as constructed. Illusory has a negative affect.
But, If I imagine the sentence: “Non Existence can never be. It is not truly speakable or thinkable.” I can easily imagine a box with the words “Non-existence” written on it, a lock across it and a key disappearing in the infinite distance.

Oh I understand. It’s similar to the notions of infinity or zero. They’re placeholder concepts. They can be manipulated and worked with like any other object, much like the locked box with the word “non-existence” on it. But there’s no opening the box.

In the chatGPT system, I had it explore the concept of “uncontained containers” for a while early on, creating a universe where the laws of physics were based on it. It managed and attempted to work out the implications but it was odd.
