>The Mādhyamika logicians noted that there are real entities, of which it can be said "this is and is not". The technical Sanskrit term for such an ascription is ubhayasa kār ātma or ubhaya vidhānam. They said that another ascription also validly existed, namely "this neither is nor is not", and this they called ubhaya pratisedha svabhāvata in the sense of pratyekābhāvata; that is both "not is" and "not is-not" (rather than in the sense of the first or else the second, i.e. the exclusive OR, which they called viśistābhāva). They expressed pratyekābhāva also as "naiva ābhāvo, naiva bhāvo": "neither non-being nor being".

But their achievement is considerable. They were the first to realize the nature of the boundary set between a given set and its complement.
