adiastatos

Adiastatos is a term derived from Greek, meaning "indivisible" or "unbounded." In philosophy, particularly within ancient Greek thought, it often refers to concepts that cannot be broken down into smaller parts or that are infinite in extent. The precise meaning can vary depending on the philosophical context. For instance, it might be applied to fundamental principles, the nature of God, or the structure of the cosmos. Thinkers like Plato and Aristotle used related concepts to explore the ultimate constituents of reality. The idea of something being adiastatos suggests a fundamental unity or an endless quality that sets it apart from the divisible and finite objects of everyday experience. It is a term used to describe ultimate, irreducible realities or properties.
