Completability

Being and becoming dissolve into completability classes within a coherence topology. Coherence is not a third order standing beside the order of knowing and the order of being but the condition of both — the prerequisite on which each depends, the state each is in when it holds, the consequence each closure leaves behind. Completability is a topological property of the transformation space, not a temporal property of the process: some completions reach a fixed point and are done, some recur without terminus, some close locally while staying open, and some never close at all. Seen this way, the ancient opposition between Parmenides and Heraclitus dissolves — each saw a real mode and took it for the whole. The three modes are not bins to sort phenomena into but ways of attending to how a thing completes; the difference reaches into relativism, into the ethics of diverse intelligences, and into the way actuality generates possibility rather than the reverse.
