This text provides a philosophical analysis of the concepts of emergence, extinction, and change. The author critiques the common understanding of emergence as a sudden appearance, characterizing it as an inaccurate and schematic abstraction. He argues that both emergence and extinction are ongoing processes rather than sharp, discontinuous breaks. The text examines formal methods that attempt to define change by comparing sets of static elements at different points in time. Such approaches are found wanting because they reduce change to the mere appearance or disappearance of discrete components without actual continuity. By attempting to construct change from immobility, these methods effectively eliminate the concept of change itself. The author rejects the reduction of change to combinations of immutable entities, asserting that such intellectual constructions contradict everyday experience. Ultimately, the work questions what kind of continuity can exist beyond immobility and seeks a more adequate way to grasp the nature of change.
