According to Anaximander, why must the primary origin (*arkhé*) of the universe be the *Apeiron* (the Boundless or Indefinite) rather than a specific material element like water or fire?

Because water and fire are spiritual concepts that cannot exist in physical space. Because a specific, determinate element would destroy its opposite element, preventing the eternal balance of nature. Because the Gods declared in sacred texts that the origin of the cosmos must remain invisible. Because mathematical numbers are the only true reality underlying physical matter.

Correct Answer:

Because a specific, determinate element would destroy its opposite element, preventing the eternal balance of nature.
