It's only to easy.

I was very conservative. In fact, I have many more
of them, and each sequence consists of astronomically
many variants. (Variants from different sequences
are always different, and so are any two from any
given sequence).

Astronomically large isn't infinite though. You can see one version
laid out by George Duke, in 91 1/2 Trillion Falcon Chess variants, to

The number studied has gotten larger than 91 1/2 Trillion by the way.
However, it still isn't unbound or infinite. Perhaps someone
mathematically can show the number of potential rules governing any
system is finite in nature, then Heraclitian (and its Calvinball
version) wouldn't be possible.
