Are there any accounts of "emptiness", preferably purely phenomenological/methodological, that don't presume a contentious metaphysics?

I avoid “emptiness,” and use the word “nebulosity” as a coined alternative, in order to point at a more-specific thing, which is one I think is important, and which is at least in the penumbra of some senses of “emptiness” in the literature.

Anyway, “the absence of thought with the presence of awareness” is not what I mean by “nebulosity” (although there may be some experiential connection). It’s also not a common meaning historically; it comes from Dzogchen Semdé, which is a fairly obscure branch of Buddhism.
