Question about nothingness or voids

Can a void qualify as a Type 1 NEP despite having spacetime coordinates?

There's a place that has nothing, nothing exists, a complete nothingness (that's how it's described).

But it has positional coordinates or something like that.

Would it be considered a Type 1 NEP or not?
 
A void is naturally nonexistent, so it doesn't need to have NEP since it technically, already has it by default. Having spacetime coordinates is...eh...I don't see a problem with that personally, smth like being able to teleport to it should be fine, since fiction just varies with what "voids" are and they are seldom "true voids". I've seen arguments be made that voids that have such things shouldn't be voids at all, but I don't fully agree with this personally. Not entirely sure what the wiki's standards are regarding that at current
 
I think it depends.

As Alipheese said, a void is naturally nonexistence, so it's a tautology to give it NEP. Although obviously it depends on what "Void" here means, it could be Space Void for example.

Spatial coordinates aren't a problem IF we assume that "space/time" is "blanketed" on the void. Like, imagine a desk and putting something on it, it doesn't change the desk's intrinsic qualities, yet you have something different from its qualities.
 
Does the Void of space only apply to our universe, or also to subspace?

Scan:

Here was a place that nobody knew about.

There was nothing. No sea and no sky. No heaven, no ground, no up, no down.

“Uh?”

Finally, Vega realized the situation he was in. No stars shone in this place. There was no light, which meant there were no colors. Nothing at all existed. It was a complete void.

“Whoa, whoa…”

At long last, Vega realized this wasn’t too good a place to be in. There was nothing, and that meant no indicators of where he was. He could try to move, but he couldn’t tell if he was even moving forward or backward.

There were no magicules. The ones leaking out from Vega might spread out around him, but there was no sign of them hitting anything. For that matter, maybe time wasn’t even flowing at all.

Suddenly, fear welled up in Vega’s mind. He now fully understood that he was alone. There was nothing to do. There was nothing he could do.

“Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. What’s going on? Goddamn it… Hey! Is anybody here?!”

The reason I'm asking this question is because of how Mai's ability works:

Mai Furuki was floating in the unfamiliar space she had jumped into with all her might. This was probably a dimensional rift, the kind they called subspace. She had made a disordered jump out of Ramiris’s labyrinth, so she had no idea what her positional coordinates were. She was alive, at least, thanks to her powers automatically adjusting the space around her to make it survivable. She wasn’t aware of that, but either way, she was thankful for her good fortune.

Obtaining Tera Mater, Lord of Starry Skies, had so far done little apart from teach her how cruel reality was all over again. The chances of her returning to her own world were impossibly low. It was theoretically doable but not for Mai. Crossing dimensional barriers requires an enormous amount of energy, along with long strings of complex, arcane calculations and a vast amount of spatial and temporal position data.

“But you can’t read positional data, can you?” she asked Vega.

“Huh?”

“If you want to move through a space, you need to be able to calculate coordinates. You’d need at least those figures for your current position and the destination you want to reach.”

“Mm…”

“And if you kill me, you’ll never get that information.”

Mai’s power—the evolved Tera Mater—gave her the skill Dimensional Leap. However, as she just said, it required a lot of data to work. It was possible to leap toward the wavelengths released by a living target, but if they existed in another dimension, it was impossible to reach them. Even if she knew the timeline, position data, and other information she needed for her target location, if there was a dimensional barrier separating her from it, she lacked the power to cross it at all.

Sorry for too much information.
 
Then this void isn't literal void, you need to remember that the term "void" is not always mean literal nonexistent void, it could be used to describe a "space" that have nothing in it, similar to a vacuum
