    Paradox of the heap

    The word "sorites" derives from the Greek word for heap( pile of sand)[4] The paradox is so named because of its original characterization, attributed to Eubulides of Miletus.[5] The paradox goes as follows: consider a heap of sand from which grains are individually removed. One might construct the argument, using premises, as follows:[3]

    1,000,000 grains of sand is a heap of sand (Premise 1)

    A heap of sand minus one grain is still a heap. (Premise 2)

    Repeated applications of Premise 2 (each time starting with one fewer grain) eventually forces one to accept the conclusion that a heap may be composed of just one grain of sand.[6]). Read (1995) observes that "the argument is itself a heap, or sorites, of steps of modus ponens":[7]

    1,000,000 grains is a heap.

    If 1,000,000 grains is a heap then 999,999 grains is a heap.

    So 999,999 grains is a heap.

    If 999,999 grains is a heap then 999,998 grains is a heap.

    So 999,998 grains is a heap.

    If ...

    ... So 1 grain is a heap

    everything above that is allready considered a pile of sand
