In order to enrich and enlighten further development of the theories, ancient Eastern wisdoms from <span class=\"SearchByTag-tag\" onmouseover=\"show_searchByTags_enter(this,'Confucianism','https:\/\/www.yinyangbalance.asia\/blog\/tag\/confucianism\/');\" onmouseout=\"show_searchByTags_leave();\">Confucianism<\/span>, Buddhism, Taoism, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (\u5112\u91cb\u9053\u91ab) have been analyzed with modern systems terminologies, for the \u201cIntegral East-West Systems Thinking\u201d project, sponsored by the Ancient Balance Medicine Research Institute<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTree of Life\u201d is a term and concept that appeared in different ancient cultures.

All theories seem to attempt to lift the boundary of duality between the physical world with precise engineering and the world of consciousness with fuzzy cognitive processes, and eventually develop different united non-dual systems thinking. The research in this paper has produced a possible set of co-relations among these different systems thinking, by analyzing in a systemic manner, the structure of the components and relationships, and their corresponding properties and transformations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SYSTEMS THINKING AND THE DUALITY OF MIND AND MATTER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 1. The common structure and function of systems thinking<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The properties of the observer<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern development of human history has biased towards the precision of engineering physical sciences that require repeatable proof and predictable results. The other side of the duality is the fuzzy consciousness of cognitive process which has been pushed into the field of philosophy and religion. The benefit of the precision of engineering is the invention of better physical protection from the extreme weather and other dangerous species in our environment, and provide us with all the convenient tools in our daily life. However we have become so attached to all the physical matters and ignored our consciousness, which is the other half of what we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The obstacle for accepting our consciousness is that it is not as repeatable and predictable as the precision engineering physical sciences. Hence we easily fall into the trap of thinking that our consciousness (e.g. cause of our actions, emotions, innovations, and spirituality) is borne out of randomness, chaos, unpredictability, and hence non-scientific. However modern sciences have found and understood causal factors contributing to human behaviour out of chaos and fuzziness (Wikipedia a,b). One of the research directions of General Systems Theory (GST) with basic structure as shown in Figure 1, is the attempt to discover the structure and relationships of our consciousness that can be described by modern terminologies in physical sciences of precise engineering. For example, Distictions-Systems-Relationships-Perspectives (DSRP) theory of analysis, Differential Diagnosis-Cure Process by Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Aggregates Human Mind Systems by Buddha, Five Virtues by <span class=\"SearchByTag-tag\" onmouseover=\"show_searchByTags_enter(this,'Confucianism','https:\/\/www.yinyangbalance.asia\/blog\/tag\/confucianism\/');\" onmouseout=\"show_searchByTags_leave();\">Confucianism<\/span>, R-theory of <span class=\"SearchByTag-tag\" onmouseover=\"show_searchByTags_enter(this,'Relational Science','https:\/\/www.yinyangbalance.asia\/blog\/tag\/relational-science\/');\" onmouseout=\"show_searchByTags_leave();\">Relational Science<\/span>s by John Kineman, Emergent Meta-system in Schemas Theory (Palmer, 2004), and Taichi Yin-Yang Five Elements Trinity i\u00b11 System by Ancient Balance Medicine Research Institute. They do not only research the properties of the observers, but also the relationship between the fuzzy mind and the precise matter. However, there could exist a limitation of what we can understand, as pointed out in the mathematical book \u201cWhat We Cannot Know\u201d (Du Sautoy, 2016). The research on the theory of \u201cTree of Life\u201d points to similar patterns in describing the mind and matter and their relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Precision engineering of physical sciences are duplicable and predictable, and this may be due to the fact that we put enormous amount of energy and efforts to ensure that the tools or machines do exactly what we want. Likewise, in understanding ourselves, we repeatedly devote our energy into what we like and what we hate. It follows that we get to grips with our repeatable and predictable behaviour caused by greed and hatred, while treating other aspects of our behaviour as random and chaotic. The latter may be haphazard and unpredictable, and we name it ignorance or \u201cwhatever\u201d. However we also fall into the trap of confusing the \u201cwhatever kind of ignorance\u201d which occur randomly, with the giving of unconditional kind of love which may also happen randomly. There are therefore four kinds of mind set. We are familiar with greed and hatred, but we should not mix up Wisdom and Ignorance. (Wong 2009)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Duality of Mind and Matter<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We propose human senses as a common base for analysis of the properties of the observer. Human senses work by differentiation (distinction) (Wong 2008) (Klein &amp; Wong 2012). All senses differentiate the object (signal) from the environment through the boundary. In engineering terms the ability of the sensor to detect depends on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) (Wikipedia c). An analogy is the basic axioms in set theory in Mathematics (Al Lehnen 2007). As a result, the differentiation process produces three components, namely A, not A and the boundary. It also produces two relationships namely union and interaction as shown in Figure 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 2. The Simplest Axioms in Set Theory<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the differentiation inherited in the six human senses, namely sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste and thought (Wong 2008), is universal to humans, it could be used as a common platform for communication. Precision engineering of physical sciences employ matter and machine as the common senses and platform for scientific communication. The result seems to be repeatable because we put so much energy into ensuring uniformity in the way the matter and machine react to what they sense. Even with artificial intelligence (AI) embedded in the machine, for example, machine learning with neural network, we still very much restrict the machine to learn or recognize exactly what we want it to do. This rigidity does not only restrict what the machine can do, but also restrict us from understanding what consciousness is. The good news however is that through the development of machine learning, we are getting very close to breaking the boundary of duality of mind and matter in order to understand the consciousness or the cognitive process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept of duality of mind and matter advocates that mind and matter are made up of totally different elements and concepts, and the existence of cognitive process or consciousness is also questioned. However the properties of the observer may provide a direction for the unification of the duality. We will take an overview of each of these systems theory and examine if there exists a common perspective in dealing with the duality of mind and matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS-CURE PROCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) employs different differential diagnosis-cure processes to determine the state of the human body and prescribe corresponding strategies for a cure (Kaptchuk 2000) (Wong 2010c). Research also shows that there exists a basic pattern (Wong 2007) (Wong 2010c) for all the different processes, namely superficial-internal spectrum, cold-hot spectrum, and deficient-excess spectrum, which are first mentioned in (HuangDi 206BC- 25AD) (Gou 1999). The static and dynamics of the spectrums are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 3. The dynamic form of the 3 common spectrums for diagnosis of systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TCM is the maintenance engineering rather than design engineering of the human body. Research shows that the body state of human body can be represented graphically as the Good n Evil Yin-Yang chart as in Figure X (Wong 2005a).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our research has found that a 3D representation provides a more vivid understanding and could correlate with the representation of the dynamics in Cybernetics. However it should be noted that this 3D spectrum is not another representation of the 3D space. It is believed that future research would show that the spectrums could be used to represent the whole space-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 4. The 3D geometric representation of the Good and Evil Yin-Yang Chart for diagnosis of systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that the Taichi (boundary) Yin-Yang (not A and A) combo could be used to represent mathematical formulas, for representation of relationships and transformations. The most important formula in physics is,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>E = mc<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yang Taichi Yin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After re-arrangement, we have<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>E\/c = mc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yang compress Taichi Yin expand<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>which has division on the LHS and multiplication on the RHS. The division could be regarded as compression and the multiplication as expansion on the number spectrum (Sanderson 2015). This compression of energy into matter is found in CERN collider for making new matters, and the expansion of matter into energy is found in all nuclear plants. That is, the exchanges between Yin and Yang require two different processes. As a result, the static three elements in the Taichi Yin-Yang combo requires two more processes to become dynamic. Five elements exist in oriental systems thinking in TCM, <span class=\"SearchByTag-tag\" onmouseover=\"show_searchByTags_enter(this,'Confucianism','https:\/\/www.yinyangbalance.asia\/blog\/tag\/confucianism\/');\" onmouseout=\"show_searchByTags_leave();\">Confucianism<\/span> and Taoism (Wong 2008). Our research shows that the five element systems could be represented as in Figure 5 with the engendering (birth) cycle and the restraining (control) cycle (Wong 2005a).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 5. The Five Elements System<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, we start with the differentiation nature of human senses, which causes the three elements Taichi Yin-Yang combo, which then causes the five elements system. Within each of the five elements, a different Good and Evil Yin-Yang Chart would exist. That is, the system is nested, recursive, and have a fractal nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FIVE ELEMENTS HEALTHCARE SYSTEM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extending from physical healthcare, other affecting factors may include our emotions, behaviour, mental, social, other systems and the environment. An attempt to connect these factors in a Five elements structure was made as shown in Figure 6. (Wong 2016) A more detailed illustration of each of the systems was performed during the workshop at Jockey Club Hong Kong as shown in Finger 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 6.

The idea was explained in detail in Vipassana mental healthcare 10-day courses held all over the world (Goenka1987a). Research has revealed the possible relationship between the five aggregates and the fundamental systems theory (Wong 2008) as shown in Figure 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 8. The Five Aggregates human system of Buddha<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fifth aggregate is the physical body which is composed of the four material elements of earth, water, fire and air (Goenka1987a). Together with the idea of emptiness mentioned in (Buddha 2500 BC), it is possible to match the five elements system in TCM, <span class=\"SearchByTag-tag\" onmouseover=\"show_searchByTags_enter(this,'Confucianism','https:\/\/www.yinyangbalance.asia\/blog\/tag\/confucianism\/');\" onmouseout=\"show_searchByTags_leave();\">Confucianism<\/span> and Taoism with the four material elements of Buddha.

After 60 years of hard work and academic exchanges, many modern Western systems theories have developed with a variety of terminologies, illustrating the relationships between observers and decision makers, between systems and environment, and between the organizational forces of systems (decreases entropy with emerging effect), and the chaotic forces of the 2nd law of thermodynamics (increases entropy with de-emerging effect).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All theories seem to attempt to lift the boundary of duality between the physical world with precise engineering and the world of consciousness with fuzzy cognitive processes, and eventually develop different united non-dual systems thinkings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems that there are three components connecting the consciousness system and the physical system, providing interaction between them. These include expanding Energy-Matter-Information into the other for innovation, and compressing Energy-Matter-Information into the other for storage. Although the consciousness system and the physical system seem to complement each other with opposite properties when analyzed in an emergent manner, both of them appear to have a similar set of components and relationships when analyzed in a de-emergent manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the systems thinking model do not have the de-emergent components of water i into five components in level i+1. Further research may try to investigate the possible representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CONCLUSION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common structure and relationships of different Ancient-Modern East-West \uff08\u53e4\u4eca\u4e2d\u897f\uff09systems thinking seem to exist. One of the representation is the Taichi Yin-Yang Five Elements Trinity i\u00b11 System, which is composed of five elements in the environment on top and five elements in the system down under, with three elements in between connecting the environment and the system. When the five elements in the environment emerge and become one element, and the five elements in the system emerge and become one element, these two emerged elements will hence form the same five elements structure with the middle three elements. Hence the same structure of three (Taichi Yin-Yang) and five (Five elements) repeat itself recursively, and have the property of fractal geometry. It is believed that the bridging of these Ancient-Modern East-West systems thinkings would inspire more research and academic exchanges, leading to a more unified holistic worldview for understanding ourselves and the world around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REFERENCES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al Lehnen.
