Yang, Charles X.: Reversal Is the Movement of the Dao; Yielding Is Its Application

Chapter 40 of the Dao De Jing is one of the most condensed cosmological statements in the history of human thought: 'Reversal is the movement of the Dao; yielding is its application. All things under heaven are born from being; being is born from non-being.' Drawing on the Lao-Yang Genesis Cosmology (LYGC) framework and integrating modern thermodynamics, complexity science, cybernetics, and quantum cosmology, this essay offers a multi-layered scientific-philosophical reading of this proposition.
