Becoming is Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s term for the movement between Being and Nothing — the insight that pure Being (with no determination) and pure Nothing (with no content) are indistinguishable, and that their truth is the passage between them. In the Science of Logic, Hegel argues that attempting to think pure Being produces Nothing, and attempting to think pure Nothing produces Being; what is real is the movement itself.
This concept is referenced by the relationality derivation at steps 1-3, where the impossibility of nothing produces the first structures of existence. The derivation reaches an analogous conclusion — nothing defeats itself — but develops it through structural forcing (what cannot not be derived) rather than through Hegel’s dialectical method.
