This text critically examines the concept of eventual happening and rejects its simplification into a mere succession of current phases. The author argues that an event cannot be reduced to a linear sequence of present moments, as such an approach ignores the profound interconnectedness between phases that have not yet occurred and those that have already passed. The true essence of an event lies in the unity and community of all its phases, which hold together in a coherent whole throughout the entire duration of the happening. Each phase is present during its preparation and persists after its actualization within its pastness. The text distances itself from both the Eleatic denial of change and the Heraclitean emphasis on perpetual flux. Instead, it emphasizes that the identity of an event, much like the identity of a river, is not determined by material variability but by the ability to create and maintain specific structures. Consequently, the author proposes replacing the general term change with the more precise concept of eventual happening, which better captures the structural integrity of processes over time.
