The philosophical doctrine of Heraclitus emphasizing perpetual change, contradiction, and the dynamic nature of reality.
From Heraclitus combined with the suffix '-ism' (from Greek '-ismos'), which denotes a system of thought, belief, or practice; this follows the standard pattern for naming philosophical schools.
Heraclitism teaches that stability is an illusion—everything is fire and flux—which sounds crazy until you realize modern physics agrees: atoms are mostly empty space and constantly moving!
