These classics guided the development of culture until the end of the Qing dynasty where many wars were fought and people were confused with the sudden influence of western culture.

A gateway or platform for the integration between these ancient theories and the integration with modern theories is urgently required. The integration of all theories in all areas, the search for &quot;The Theory of Everything&quot; is the hope of many leading scientists in different areas of research.

In the first years of IT engineering study, the modeling of amplifiers simplified the tedious calculation and provide a very easy way to analyze those otherwise complicated electrical circuits. Terminology like Yin-Yang, Good-Evil, Water-Fire in Traditional Chinese Medicine make much more sense with this system viewpoint, than with the Western medicine's biochemical and anatomical point of view. In a university study of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the theory of TCM become more and more logical, but we still could not use modern science to clearly explain the theory until 15 years of study and practice. The use of the Good &amp; Evil Yin-Yang chart allows the transformation of the traditional literal description of the theory into a graphical and mathematical one.

All changes are due to the changes of different Quarks, according to Quantum Physics (Feynman, 1985), or all due to the vibration of strings of different length according to string theory (length and vibration) (Hawking, 2001). However, changes do not matter to the universe itself according to the 1st law of thermodynamics (Law of conversation of energy) (</span><span lang=EN-US>Perrot, 1998</span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>). That is, nothing changes as a whole. Changes only matters to an observer because changes become signals to the observer. If there is no change, there is no time. Change is the difference between now and just now. Only observer &quot;feels&quot; time. The Universe as a whole has not time. Space and Time are relative concepts in relativity (Hawking, 2001) and only become absolute to observers in their frame of reference. Nothing is permanent, except maybe the Universe.

At a glance, it may contradict with the 2nd law of thermodynamics, but the observer is actually inserting energy into the system for the differentiation. It is similar to an air conditioner using power to differentiate cold and hot air. After the process of differentiation, anything in the universe become either A or not A from the viewpoint of the observer, which agrees with the third fundamental principles of Aristotelian logic (Either-or).<o:p></o:p></span></p> <h1><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>Environment: Integration <o:p></o:p></span></h1> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>If the system (A) can be isolated from its environment (not A), then the changes within A do not affect our goal (Taichi). In a way A becomes another universe. If total isolation is achieved, there is no way we can observe if the system is still at our goal. The third law of thermodynamics states that as temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a constant (</span><span lang=EN-US>Perrot, 1998</span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language: ZH-TW'>).

However, some people keep using the method of differentiation in their daily analysis and forget about the big picture, which should be an integral part of the whole analysis.

Then we learn about the behavior of toy bricks and how they react to different influences. In real systems it is sometimes very hard to determine the basic building components and the rule of interaction between them. The Chinese found a basic structure for all the systems they encountered, and applied the structure to different areas of knowledge in their culture. This basic structure was extended into 64 more complicated structures. These structures were not further divided because it was felt that going further would only complicate the analysis, and the integrated big picture of being one, the unity would be lost (</span><span lang=EN-US>Confucius, 479 BC)</span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language: ZH-TW'>.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>A universal system structure is very important to system analysis because we want to develop a theory that can be applied to everything. A structure includes the components, their predicates, and their relationships. Knowing this, the changes between the components and the rule of changes can be studied. A state is a snapshot of all the components at a given time, which can be used to determine the required Input/Output relationship. Because of the property of integration, changes to one component always affect other components. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>How can set A be analyzed?

Hence, &quot;size doesn't matter&quot;. This structure applies to the biggest system and the smallest system. No size limitations were imposed on set A (Taichi) in the analysis. Also the nature of set A can be any particular one in this universe, no matter how simple or complex. The level of set A is also unlimited from the most macroscopic level to the most microscopic level.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>Once the Taichi is in action, Yin and Yang appears at the same time. E.g. an idea is a Taichi, and until the idea is put into action, Yin and Yang remain hidden. Therefore, the Taichi, Yin and Yang cannot be separated and form the simplest structure of any system in this universe. That is why Chinese say any system in this universe is a Taichi Yin-Yang system. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>Western culture also has a similar concept: There are always two sides of a coin. Most people love one side of the coin and want to ignore the other side. Some people realize and accept both sides of the coin. But only a few clearly understand the definition of a coin: Head, Tail, and the Coin. Some people try to group all the Heads of different coins together, or group all the Tails of different coins together for analysis and get confused. The fact is that different coins have different Heads and Tails and each coin should be analyzed together its corresponding Head and Tail. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>The same Taichi Yin-Yang structure can be observed in physical, social or biological sciences. For example in physical science, if we want to make a mechanical sound (Taichi), then we need to have an action force (Yang operated) and an reaction force (Yin supported) according to Newton's 3rd Law of Motion. An example in social science could be an economic system where the economy (Taichi) is composed of Demand (Yang operated) and Supply (Yin supported). In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the human body (Taichi) is composed of the materials of the body (Yin supported) and the function of the body (Yang operated). Research is ongoing on how to apply this theory to Economics, Business Management, Mechanical Physics, Unity theory of the forces in the universe, and more.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>It is believed that this structure should also be able to analyze the phenomenon in Quantum physics. If quarks are the basic building blocks of all energy and matter, then energy and matter are both just the cohesion phenomenon of quarks and are just an impermanent illusion, which is deemed to fail and fall apart at some time. Remember that only (A union not A) could be permanent. Anything else is just A or (not A) which will constantly interact with each other, will integrate together again at some time, and then could be differentiated again at some other time by some observer. However, many people have the illusion that A can be permanent and keep analyzing the properties of A, keep controlling A to fulfill their desires. Traditional Chinese theories states that the final truth can only be found by releasing the unity, (A union not A).<o:p></o:p></span></p> <h1><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>Rules of Changes: components?relationships <o:p></o:p></span></h1> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>Now the Yin-Yang structure of a Taichi system has been examined, the predicates for each of these components and the relationship between Yin and Yang is studied.

However, the water may not be able to mix with the COLD water immediately and hence causing YIN EXCESS in one area while the other area is experiencing YIN DEFICIENT.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=FigureCaption><span lang=EN-AU style='mso-ansi-language:EN-AU; mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_i1049" type="#_x0000_t75" style='width:207pt;height:96.6pt'> <v:imagedata src="ISSS2007-Paper%20Methodology%20ancient%20modern_files/image045.png" o:title="Resistance without"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img border=0 width=276 height=129 src="ISSS2007-Paper%20Methodology%20ancient%20modern_files/image046.gif" v:shapes="_x0000_i1049"><![endif]><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_i1050" type="#_x0000_t75" style='width:206.4pt;height:96pt'> <v:imagedata src="ISSS2007-Paper%20Methodology%20ancient%20modern_files/image047.jpg" o:title="with resistance"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img border=0 width=275 height=128 src="ISSS2007-Paper%20Methodology%20ancient%20modern_files/image048.jpg" v:shapes="_x0000_i1050"><![endif]><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=figuretitle><span lang=EN-GB>Fig.9 The Taichi Yin-Yang systems with and without Resistance.</span></p> <h2><span lang=EN-AU style='mso-ansi-language:EN-AU;mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>Environment:</span></h2> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-AU style='mso-ansi-language:EN-AU; mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>In our heating water system, water (Yin) evaporates to or condensed from the environment all the time depending on the state of the environment.

Once again this is another holistic point of view. Sometimes a special input is required to stimulate the system in order to more accurately determine the current state of the system, something similar to frequency or impulse response in modern control theory. There are standard special sets of behavior for the BALANCED state, the COLD state, the HOT state, the YIN DEFICIENT state, the YANG DEFICIENT state, the YIN EXCESS state, and the YANG EXCESS state.

Similar descriptions appear in the Chinese, Indian and other traditional cultures. Taichi is the goal of a system and must be clearly defined as a frame of reference in order to identify the Yin and Yang, and Good and Evil components of a system. Even if the Taichi Yin-Yang system is differentiated from the universe for analysis, its environment is always an integral part of the system. In a way, the environment of the system is another system in a way, and hence can also be represented by the Good &amp; Evil Yin-Yang chart. Current state of a system can be COLD/HOT, DEFICIENT or not, or in EXCESS or not. Hence the system could be in one of the 64 different states. </span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US>The output behavior of each one of these states </span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>is</span><span lang=EN-US> different and hence the input responses are different. The internal changes caused by the interaction between these special components has been explored for the last 5000 years in China, and the most important ones include the Yin-Yang viscous cycle, conductance/resistance delay in transfer, and the tolerance of imbalances. The input influences can be classified into a COLD-HOT influence spectrum according to the definition of Taichi. However, the inputs can be external factors, necessities, strategies, time or the internal feedback.</span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ZH-TW'>Fo</span><span lang=EN-US>llowing the simple 15 simple steps, one can apply the theory to any kind of system for analysis.

Anyone who conducts further research on this theory should translate into a major breakthrough in their field of science. Research has also be done and is ongoing in applying the theory to physical sciences such as the unification of basic forces (Wong, 2007c), social sciences such as economics (Wong, 2007c) and meditation (Wong, 2007e), and biological sciences (Wong, 2007a) (Wong, 2007b) (Wong, TBP c).<o:p></o:p></span></p> <h1><span lang=EN-US>Acknowledgment</span></h1> <p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US>We would like to take this opportunity to thank our Traditional Chinese Medicine mentor Mr. Philip CHU who inspire us with TCM and Taichi exercise, and established the Good &amp; Evil Yin-Yang chart, which is what the research is based on.
