Thanks guys

Answer 8

If you use quantifier logic it is more clear.

Call the person \( b\) .
A person can see nothing is equivalent to
for all x , \( b\) cannot see x.
or equivalently
there does not exist x such that \( b\) can see x.

'Nothing' is not a predicate or a statement.
You can remove the word 'nothing' from your logic vocabulary as it can lead to confusion.
