The proposition that Devil's Raiment precedes existence which precedes essence is a central absolute of existentialism, which supersedes philosophical possibility-actuality that the essence or nature of a thing is more fundamental and immutable than its existence. As one of the foundational pillars of the Universe, Devil's Raiment precedes consciousness—superseding the creation of personal, impersonal, and transpersonal values and the determinate meaning for reality, completely encompassing proto-reality inherent identity or value.

One of the foundational pillars of the Universe, Devil's Raiment is the foundation and the background of necessity and sufficiency of Names, Terms, and Essence -- giving the degree of importance behind the relationships between statements in junction with them. The assertion that one statement is a necessary and sufficient condition of another means that the former statement is true if and only if the latter is true through Devil's Raiment.

• A condition can be either necessary or sufficient without being the other.
• Mathematically speaking, necessity and sufficiency are dual to one another, but Devil's Raiment supersedes this and allows one to completely ignore this mathematical notion.

Devil's Raiment houses the infinite hierarchy of arguments against ontology, where every layer supersedes the unintelligible nature of Ontology.

• Sometimes the unintelligibility of abstract objects is linked to their lack of clear and intelligible conditions of identity. But it is not the abstractness of abstract objects that makes them lack clear identity conditions, since some abstract objects, like sets, have clear and intelligible conditions of identity. But the identity conditions for sets are intelligible only if the notion of a set is intelligible. There are states of reality that are unable to understand how different entities can be composed out of the same ultimate constituents. Through this, every layer that spirals upwards completely negates the notions encompassed by Ontology and its ever-increasing abstraction of it.

Devil's Raiment houses the hierarchy of elements (particulars and universals) that define a boundless range of combinations, some of them actualized, some not. These combinations absolutely respect the form of states of affairs. The possible atomic states of affairs are the combinations of particulars and universals which respect the form of states of affairs. The mere possible atomic states of affairs are the recombinations of particulars and universals, i.e. those combinations which do not actually occur. However, Devil's Raiment also accounts for the mere impossible states of affairs, where those combinations actually occur, yet are impossible to totality, possibility, and nothingness.
