In addition to the six categories of being (substance, quality, action, conjunction, universal category, specific characteristics), “non-existence” is also considered a category (the state of not being something).
When we perceive an object it is possible for us to be mistaken about what we perceive, but even then there must be some external basis for our perception, even if it is wrong.
For example, we mistakenly might think a piece of rope is a snake, but the rope itself is still real. To examine whether we are correct or not, we must initiate a process of logical investigation (prāmāṇya).
