And there is no contradiction whatsoever.
Yes there is. Are you, or are you not, referring to something?
If you are, then you are referring to a thing, not nothing. "Nothing" (the word) means "not a thing" it is a the compounding of the words "no" and "thing", and thus cannot be used to refer to a thing.
If you are not referring to something, then you are not referring, since reference is a way of pointing something out.
Perhaps you are confusing this with some kind of physical representation. I'm also saying that reality is not physical, but conceptual.
Well, it had nothing to do with physicality, but now that you bring it up, what is the difference between the "physical" and the "conceptual"?

It's just a representation of a fundamental entity. The circle (sphere) you see is not physical. Whats outside the circle is not physical. Whats inside the circle is not physical. There is'nt anything there accept for the concept (thought) of a thing. I fail to see why this is so hard for you to understand.
Actually, everything that I saw was physical. Photonic emission (aka, "Light") from the monitor screen was interpreted in the CNS (central nervous system) to illicit a similar experience as when I see a circular object. What's so "non-physical" about this?
