For when there is absolute negation, due to the connection with "does not produce," [the meaning is that] it produces an absence [and] does not produce an entity; thus from the negation of action, the non-agency of the cause of destruction would be established. And how could that which is not an agent be a cause? Therefore, there is no cause of destruction whatsoever.
