Change is so pervasive in our lives that it almost defeats
description and analysis. One can think of it in a very general way
as alteration. But alteration in a thing raises subtle problems. One
of the most perplexing is the problem of the consistency of change:
how can one thing have incompatible properties and yet remain the
same thing? Some have held that change is a consistent process, and
rendered so by the existence of time. Others have held that the only
way to make sense of change is as an inconsistency.
