PROFLUENCE — [Noun] The onward flow or progression, especially of time or events. From Latin prōfluentia ("a flowing forth"), from prōfluere ("to flow forth"), composed of prō- ("forth") + fluere ("to flow"). Unlike "fluency" (which suggests smoothness in speech or movement) or "current" (which fixates on the present stream), "profluence" is the relentless forward march, indifferent to pauses or eddies. It is the river carving its path through stone, the unspooling of a film reel with no rewind, the steady march of seasons that will not pause for grief—a reminder that time is not a circle but an arrow, and we are carried along its length whether we will it or not.
