As Heidegger shows in The Anaximander Fragment, the apeiron (the
not-bounded) is not the formless infinite but the ‘process’ of coming into
be-ing and going out of be-ing, the refusal of the standstill, the exact
opposite of the usual formulation of be-ing as eternal constancy.
Before coming into being apieron must be posited. You cannot have one without
the other. The Old Testament first day of creation is equivalent to apieron
(as the void or chaos). As with apieron the second day begins the apocrisis
(winnowing out of the oppsites).
