What is Parmenides' core concept of Being?
Being is. It cannot not be. Non-being is not, and cannot be. Therefore, Being is a single, indivisible, motionless, and eternal reality. It is neither born nor does it perish, for to be born or to perish would imply a transition from non-being to being, or vice-versa, which is logically impossible. All that is, simply *is*, in its fullness and completeness.
