As a side note: The title 'The Cosmic Fragments' reimagines and interprets Heraclitus' philosophical musings on the world as a whole, rather than focusing on humanity's role in it. Named after G.S. Kirk's seminal paper examining Heraclitus' philosophical fragments, this series reflects Heraclitus' belief in constant change as the essence of the universe, famously expressed in "No man ever steps in the same river twice." His philosophy also emphasized the unity of opposites, illustrating that "the path up and down are one and the same," depicting all entities through pairs of contrary properties, never occupying a single state at a single time.
