I am under the impression one means anyone or anything.

anyone means to me human who can express themselves with a yes and no answer.
anything that can agree or disagree with expression. Like a bird can be taught to agree and disagree, monkeys too. So they are the anything part. Or a tree shaking in the wind just in a NY moment at the right time question was asked. Lightning bolt may hit just right as a NO to your answer you are seeking.

Everything is the "universal set" of the universe. Anything is any element of the universal set of the universe. Nothing is an empty set and the fact that there is an empty set is itself an element of the Facts set (or set of all facts) which is a subset of the universal set, therefore the existance of an empty set is validated. Now that I just defined the universe in a few lines of set theory, I think I'll start working on my own Theory Of Everything :-) Seriously though, these are good questions to exercise the mind and make some new synaptic links which can lead to new knowledge. If you look at everything in the universe and regard the whole universe as a single object which is made of sub-atomic particles (including electromagnetic waves) and then the whole lot is multiplied by time to give everything a temporal component, then everything and anything is the same thing. Everything is "the universe" and the only thing that exists is the universe and so when you say anything, the only choice you have is "the universe" because that's the only thing that exists. Everything within the universe is just what the universe is made of. When we then apply human-derived properties to each part that makes up the universe, we can separate each part into human-derived categories - galaxies, solar systems, suns, planets, black holes, etc. For each of these, because they're human-derived categories, there will be examples which don't fit into our categories or that rest halfway between two categories, or that belong in two categories at once. These outliers make us start redefining the properties of the categories to try to make everything fit. Then to make more detail so we can understand each part more, we create more categories and divide everything up again. This keeps going with everything. We create a category and define the properties of the objects within that category. Overall, this does help us to understand everything but it can also make things more complicated than they need to be if the categories are badly defined. That's why philosophers still haven't figured out what "art" is. They can't figure out the properties of the category. Now regarding nothing: nothing is something. (Cool...that one's going on the "facts and quotes" wall). The absence of an item is a fact that is useful. If you knew that someone was not at a certain place, you could use that fact to help figure out where they are. What is NOT is useful in determining what IS. And what IS is useful in determining what NOT is. OK now I'm confusing myself. It's too late for epistemology. I hope my opinion matches the answers you have or else either I'm wrong or I don't exist...."and he promptly vanishes in a puff of logic."

In Simple Words
Anyone is Used for Any Living Person/thing
Anything is Used for Any Non-Living thing
Basically "Anyone can answer anything" :)

Anyone is the person and anything are the thoughts of that person.

Typically "one" when spoken philosophically meas a rational animal, or in other words a man (according to philosophers not of today...today one includes woman as well).

The same as the difference between "nobody" and "nothing".
