Etymology

Plural form of 'becoming', the noun derived from 'become'. Can refer to multiple transitions or transformations, or to philosophical ideas about becoming (as in Heraclitus' concept of flux).

Kelly Says

In philosophy, 'becomings' refers to the process of change and transformation itself—Heraclitus said everything is flux (constant becoming), which influenced how philosophers still talk about change.
