The entire evolution of science would suggest that the best grammar for thinking about the world is that of change, not of permanence. Not of being, but of becoming.
We can think of the world as made up of things. Of substances. Of entities. Of something that is. Or we can think of it as made up of events. Of happenings. Of processes. Of something that occurs. Something that does not last, and that undergoes continual transformation, that is not permanent in time. The destruction of the notion of time in fundamental physics is the crumbling of the first of these two perspectives, not of the second. It is the realization of the ubiquity of impermanence, not of stasis in a motionless time.
Thinking of the world as a collection of events, of processes, is the way that allows us to better grasp, comprehend, and describe it. It is the only way that is compatible with relativity. The world is not a collection of things, it is a collection of events.
The difference between things and events is that things persist in time; events have a limited duration. A stone is a prototypical “thing”: we can ask ourselves where it will be tomorrow. Conversely, a kiss is an “event.” It makes no sense to ask where the kiss will be tomorrow. The world is made up of networks of kisses, not of stones.
The basic units in terms of which we comprehend the world are not located in some specific point in space. They are—if they are at all—in a where but also in a when. They are spatially but also temporally delimited: they are events.
Carlo Rovelli, The Order of Time

She said there was comfort to be found in the permanence of mathematical truths, in the lack of arbitrariness and the absence of ambiguity. In knowing that the answers may be elusive, but they could be found. They were there, waiting, chalk scribbles away.

Dan Heng & Dusk Be Twinning Hard
or Dusk from Arknights could be Dan Heng & Blades kid! (By Design)
Red marastruck eyes (and arms) & Sword user Like Blade +green horns & Tail + ink motif with dragons like Dan Heng=
Blade/DanFeng Daughter ?
A Fun Fanon Theory & idea? (Before 1.4 Update)
Dan Heng & Dusk Be Twinning Hard
Chibi!Dusk from Arknights as the Renfeng Kid Fanfic Pending if any of this sounds interesting
Based on Lore before the update Honkai Star Rail 1.4 :
Dusk from Ark Knights as the RenFeng Kid.
Assuming they were lovers in their Past life b/c bracers and the beloved line in text
There was Lore that Dan Heng broke the taboo of making Blade immortal
They may be made a kid using the blood or bones of Vidhydra, heart of Long and the ambrosial arbor?
During the transmutation of high elder power to Bailu something went wrong
Blade became immortal because of Dan Heng/Feng
Bailu created reincarnated Baiheng (their fallen foxing friend Jingliu loved)
Dusk the dragon of abomination that killed many Vidhydra or Blade as the monstrosity?
However fun to think it was a Renfeng kid that was created and they may look like Dusk if there was one.
Aeon of Permanence- Long
Vidhyadra scions of Long as referred by Phantaylia .
Is Dusk one of the scions of long or long itself?
The abomination of abundance as Long reincarnated?
Rumors of a giant dragon rampaging the Loufu
Was Bailu an attempt to reincarnate Long the dragon of Permanence to be a new high elder so Dan Feng could escape his duties? (Fanon Idea that Renfeng child Dusk is )
Mara struck Dusk? explains marastruck arms at birth or taking the medicine for mara struck long-lived species when Vidhyard should but she has to because of half short live species Blade/Yingxing?
I don't know if any lore from Arknight lines up to the theory of Dusk being related to Dan Heng but would love to know from that side of the fandom!
