I think the distinction might be similar to the difference between "what's inside of a hole", and "what's outside the universe". Metaphorically. Or emptiness and nothingness. I dunno, it's probably something drawn from a metaphysical system I know nothing about.
Thing I noticed: the two imaginary elements laid out in CM3 are 虚 and 無. Smoosh them together and you get 虚無, Ryougi's origin.
Isn't Ryougi's origin normally written as " " or _ or however you want to show that you are leaving a space intentionally blank and that still isn't blank/not there/absent enough to truly represent her origin?

...I feel a little bit like commander shephard after, while being told about an enslaved race, hears morridan sang gilbert and sullivan
"hang on, Im sorry, I am sure what you were just saying was important but....are you telling me sakura's origin might be "the emptiness inside of a hole?"
And Aether is the cosmos. So yeah, Nasucraft got me confused.
That's not her Origin. I think it was either Araya or Touko that actually called out Ryougi's Origin as "nothingness".
Also, " " is pronouced as "Kara", as in "Kara no Kyoukai". "Kara(空)" is also the name for Ether in the Association's Seven Elements classification.
Is your brain melting yet?
I know, I am referring to "空", not the actual pronunciation.
"Fate/stay night: not really an eroge, and not really a cooking sim, but actually an RPG wherein everyone’s primary stat is “self-loathing” and the goal is to level it up beyond all the other characters."
Sakura has a similar Alignment because she's Shiki's fan? o_O
