The Sorites Argument

The Sorites Argument, often illustrated with the example of a heap of sand, challenges how we define concepts that change gradually. It starts with a clear case: one million grains of sand is a heap, but if you remove one grain, it still seems like a heap. If you keep removing one grain at a time, at what point does it stop being a heap? This argument illustrates the difficulty in drawing clear lines in vague concepts and highlights the challenges in how we categorize and define things in the world around us.
