And Krauss is pretty full of shit on this topic, because he's defining nothing as something, but in his defense he did go further to say that without a quantum vacuum (pretty much nothing) due to the effects of gravity a quantum vacuum can form, but this isn't nothing, because you still had the laws working there. Krauss went even further than that though, he said the laws themselves could be formed by random.
Logic isn't a property to be had. Regardless, "nothingness" as apologists mean isn't anything, it has no properties. You're making use of a linguistic trick here. "Nothingness" is not a referent, it's not a thing. It can't have properties for precisely that reason.
