a thing is "made of" non \'self" things..
a paper is made of \'non-paper\' elements.(carbon etc etc..sunshine etc..water etc....no identity of "paperness " can be found...

there is not an atom of "paper" in a piece of paper...yet..it is produced by many elements,including sunshine,rain the tree,the logger ,the parents of the logger...take away one thing..and there will be no paper..so the paper is empty of "paper-ness"..

everything is defined by \'non-self" elements..it just can not be defined by "itself\'.
