Aperion

Seemingly also referred to as Apeiron.

Anaximander, one of the presocratic Greek philosophers, proposed the existence of an aperion, being an unlimited reserve of matter from which all things in the universe originate. Thales, a contemporary, claimed that water, one of the four elements (water, fire, earth, air), was the arché of all matter.
