Heap Paradox

Heap Paradox, also known as the Sorites Paradox, highlights how vague boundaries in concepts like "heap" can lead to confusing questions. For example, removing one grain of sand from a large pile doesn’t seem to eliminate the heap, but repeatedly doing so eventually leaves no grains at all. The paradox questions when exactly a collection stops being a heap, illustrating how small changes can have ambiguous thresholds in language. This challenges our understanding of vague terms and how we define categories that lack precise boundaries, emphasizing the difficulty in pinpointing exact moments when a change occurs.
