道

道 · dào · The Way

道路

• 不是固定的轨道，但有确定的方向和边界。
• 目标用来指引方向，
• 原则和价值观用来限制边界和底限。

The road.

• Not a fixed track, but with a definite direction and boundaries.
• Goals point the direction;
• Principles and values mark the boundaries and the bottom line.

通用

• 适用于人生，适用于世界
• 是“可以穿越不确定的确定性”

Universal.

• It holds for a life and for the world alike — the certainty by which one crosses the uncertain.

相对公理

• 贫：任何资源，从时间到空间，从关系到系统，都是稀缺的，需要分配和利用，需要进行取舍。
• 复：任何事物，从人到事，从内到外，都是复杂的，没有简单线性的定义，需要多方面多维度的理解。
• 易：任何情况，都是在变化之中的，任何事实、判断、结论都是在单一时点下的切片，需要接受变化是常态，灵活适应。
• 联：任何个体，从个人到组织，从问题到方案，从单点到全局，都存在的互相的联系和关系，需要系统性思考，考虑到整体和相互影响。
• 择：任何行动，从战斗到逃跑，从主动到被动，都是一种选择，每个选择都有其后果。

Relative axioms.

• Scarcity (Pín): every resource — from time to space, from relationships to systems — is scarce; it must be allocated, used, and traded off.
• Complexity (Fù): everything — from people to affairs, from inner to outer — is complex, admitting no simple linear definition; understand it across many facets and dimensions.
• Change (Yì): every situation is in flux; any fact, judgment, or conclusion is only a slice at a single instant. Accept change as the norm and adapt with flexibility.
• Connection (Lián): every entity — from person to organization, from problem to solution, from local to global — is bound in mutual relation. Think systemically; weigh the whole and the interplay.
• Choice (Zé): every action — to fight or to flee, active or passive — is a choice, and every choice carries its consequences.

多维投影

• 每个低维世界都是高维世界在一个角度的投影，从点线面体的空间，到时间；

• 从高维看低维个体，个体本身确定不变，而且本自具足

• 从低维本身看，不同角度带来不同的样子，所以各不相同

• 人生可以展现出不一样的角度，描绘出不一样的投影，成为丰富的全面的个体。

Multidimensional projection.

• Every lower-dimensional world is a projection of a higher one from a single angle — from the space of point, line, plane, and solid, through to time.
• Seen from above, the lower-dimensional individual is fixed and unchanging, and complete in itself;
• Seen from within the lower dimension, different angles yield different appearances, so each differs from the rest. - A life can reveal different angles, cast different projections, and become a rich and rounded individual.

大道至简

• “一二三四五，点线面体旋”

The great Way is simple.

• “One, two, three, four, five ”
• “point, line, plane, solid, spin.”
