But I don't think we step into definitions, do we? That is exactly
Heraclitus's point: qua undefined, nothing can be the same as itself because
there is no 'itself' - you can't even step into the same river once. Raw,
the whole world is like this, not just rivers: all is flux.

"undifferentiated aesthetic continuum"
- as Northrop and Prisig would have it.

  The river is a metaphor, after all.
