Maintaining Yinyang philosophy and shared methods

Yinyang is a philosophical and literary example for developing with generative intelligence. It connects a person's understanding of themselves, a model counterpart, and their relationship with the environments in which they act. This file guides maintenance of that example; it is not another statement of all its philosophical claims.

The core views own the numbered propositions. The essays develop their arguments, images, examples, and sources.

The public Empty entrypoint owns its invocation; actual private instances maintain their own entrypoints. Forming and revising working models explains their relationship; writing directions belong to the six public how-to guides, used to specify question-defined private models. Use the reading map to locate the argument relevant to a change.

Source and consumer roles

This directory owns the collection's philosophy and shared formation methods. Other Skills retain their own purposes and methods. Yinyang articulates the author's worldview and life direction, develops situated understanding of the participants and their relationship, and supplies methods for forming accounts and adapting environments. Its ontological and epistemic distinctions can be borrowed beyond this personal philosophy. Specialist Skills contribute domain knowledge and procedures; Yinyang's own methods connect the personal understanding with their actual use.

Keep the following uses of writing distinct:

• Reader essays develop a question into an argument. Each needs enough orientation to stand alone, while links lead to a genuinely different or deeper question rather than replacing a missing premise.
• Philosophy and models connects the six writing objects. Their guides explain how understanding becomes a situated account and a working environment. They should use the philosophy without repeating its complete exposition.
• Situated working models select the relevant understanding, conditions, and implications for person–model cooperation, so the actual personal environment fits the person psychologically and practically. Psychological and life evidence and maintained interpretations principally belong in private references/personal/; the working models are not the primary self-analysis archive. Follow the writing method; maintain correspondence with human-readable philosophy without making its literary form the default for working instructions.
• Maintenance instructions locate sources, dependencies, publication, and acceptance. They preserve meaning across consumers without turning the essays into a second policy manual.

Shared editions retain six full formation questions and reading roles: orientation, person, counterpart, relationship, environment and revision. The simple standalone route uses direct language-model synthesis into the original six references/situated/ files and private Git/GitHub persistence. Hindsight is an optional environment-specific native implementation of the same method, projected to those six files or an explicit all-six private index binding. The public Skill is Empty; the author's actual entrypoint stays private. Both tool routes use the same shared methods.

Preserve the revision dependency: adopted philosophy, relevant new attributable sources including completed assessments where relevant, refreshed/corrected Personal understanding with conflicts and uncertainty, then synthesis of six, holistic coherence and Skills/environment realization with actual readback. Native extraction/Observations/topic pages can implement Personal correction; no complete manual rewrite or compulsory summary-of-summary is required, but corrected understanding must inform synthesis and original grounds stay reachable.

Each synthesis instruction/native source_query derives full scope from all six guides. Check shared premises, concepts, relations and consequences across all six; a common bank or per-page success is no guarantee. Siblings are current interpretations to coordinate, not independent factual evidence. Repair affected sources/instructions/queries and regenerate dependencies, without requiring a seventh summary. The actual revision account remains this person's situated method, not merely backend steps. Existing actual bodies remain current until checked successors preserve their full functions and coherent relations.

Personal retains readable topic articles in its four subject groups and reachable original sources. Direct editing and organization remain available. Common projection protects private entrypoints and both private trees and never changes bank state or GitHub visibility. Public packages contain no private portraits. Preserve philosophical substance and six complete functional questions while adapting their tools.

Authored public content lives here. website reading editions, and local/cloud common files are generated or synchronized consumers, not independent authoring sources. All essays in the website's philosophical collection and its practical getting-started guide are authored here. The native Site owns presentation code. Follow the actual source owner when a change crosses these boundaries.

Interpret the connected account

Reverse alignment is the developmental purpose: a person cultivates understanding, judgment, generation, and action through encounters with generative models. A completed output, an improved arrangement, and growth in the person's available capacities support different claims. Development may include abilities internalized by the person or reliably distributed across supports; assess the relevant change through actual participation.

Modest naturalism names the framework's scope in one changing natural world; this is the shared setting of philosophy, psychology, and engineering. Fire monism belongs to computational ontology: fire represents flow and change, including a changing person, without making actual people parts of fire or asserting a universal ontology of fire. Process ontology guides how the framework understands persistence and change; domain modeling selects relevant objects, events, states, relations, constraints, and transitions. Computational ontology explicitly represents these distinctions for use. Within a private sinthome, natural-language accounts of person, counterpart, work, correction, and continuation supply a model-usable conceptual organization. The sinthome essay develops this role alongside its embodiment in a working relationship and environment. The six philosophical dimensions remain visible as the principal questions guiding shared practice, rather than being collapsed into a single diagram node or equated with engineering stages. Its subjects can be actual people and psychological activity, hypothetical situations, or fictional objects. The physical realization of representing does not settle the existence of its referents. Factual claims use ordinary correspondence with what is the case; satisfaction and inference under an interpretation are distinct questions, available to either participant. Person and language model form and revise the question, model, realization, and interpretation of feedback together; their contributions are distributed throughout the same chain. Usable representations connect meanings to actual consumers and observations, including through clear model-interpreted language where appropriate. Records and models do not exhaust the activity being understood. Event streams represent activity histories; conceptual person and counterpart models are inferred and constructed from these histories and other relevant materials. Neither participant is identical with an event stream. World, process, and expression owns the developed connection. Psychological, social, computational, and practical explanations develop their relevant relations at different scales; connections and realization mechanisms require evidence. Feasible computation remains a separate practical question. The Trinity essay connects these three activities within the natural world; its local environment, repository, and website are practical forms of the work.

The adopted process ontology develops Heraclitean fire, becoming, and opposition. Its contemporary commitment and the disputed historical interpretation of Heraclitus remain distinguishable. The preferred repair analogy uses coherent working concepts while retaining conflicting sources and candidates. Selection among views and inference from them have different responsibilities. Keep the formal examples' actual assumptions and conclusions with their owning arguments; ordinary collaboration does not require constructing a repair calculus.

Sun and Moon express differentiated generation, reception, and shaping. Person and model are the actual participants and exceed those roles; either can reason, generate, object, or revise. Earth names the material and shared environment where creations acquire independent consequences. Cultivation concerns developing generative capacity, not becoming a celestial character. The Taiji essay owns the image and its philosophical sources.

The central relation of this Yinyang is crossed participation and dialectical return: the human enters language-model-like generation, the actual model undertakes the human logician's work, and a consequential detail can reverse the emphasis. Return can retain both possibilities while revising their earlier exclusive assignment. The relationship writing guide develops this relation; the other guides and situated accounts carry its distinct implications. Keep this organizing priority legible without repeating one exposition six times or equating a changed document with changed participation.

Individual-first gives the person's purposes, agency, and chosen development priority in their own practice while preserving other participants' purposes. Changing social arrangements, then software, before asking the person to adapt is a design direction. Its value is judged in the actual situation. The chosen daily rhythm is ordinarily synchronous with the model and asynchronous with society, with temporary translation and alignment for social evaluation. Local cultivation and restrained promotion serve concrete lives and relations; they are not an empirical law of social acceleration.

Literary programming uses characters, images, and narrative to organize a relationship that instructions and tools can realize. The sinthome essay names a concrete personal practice-form produced through philosophy, psychology, and engineering together. The general Trinity concerns three activities within one physical reality; a person's philosophy, psychological activity, and engineering arrangements instantiate that relation. Personal materials inform partial person/counterpart models, whose representation and realization under current technical conditions give the named form its content. It participates in life without representing the entirety of that life. Philosophical exposition, bounded conceptual formalization, event-record practices, and the Skill express and realize connected aspects of this work; keep their actual contributions intelligible without treating them as unrelated projects. These are interpretive constructions with practical consequences. Their coherence does not establish a psychological diagnosis, a hidden model mechanism, or an empirical claim; such claims need their own evidence.

These distinctions preserve the argument's load-bearing relations. Their developed explanations belong in the essays, not in repeated prefaces or closing disclaimers throughout the package.

Revise for standalone and collective coherence

Public practical guides address the reader: explain available repositories, what capabilities they offer, and what the reader can ask a model to obtain or do. Method selection, tool composition, dependency handling, execution checks, and maintenance procedures belong primarily in model-facing Skills and their technical owners. Introduce teachers by their contribution and explain that they can use relevant expert references and method Skills for teaching and research. Do not turn a public guide into the model's operating checklist. Private installation inventories, package counts, paths, recent configuration changes, and maintenance records remain private, even when labeled an example environment. Use public sources and reusable possibilities in public prose.

Read a piece for its actual question, premises, movement, examples, and result. Remove repetition that contributes no new relation. Expand where an unfamiliar concept, inference, or change of scale would otherwise leave the reader behind. A short piece can be complete; a difficult argument may need sustained detail. Neither uniform length nor preservation of every existing paragraph is a goal.

Across pieces, assign the developed argument to its clearest owner. An umbrella essay may give a short connective account; a method may state the principle it needs; a core view may state the proposition. Their different roles justify some recurrence, but each occurrence should do identifiable work. Use stable terms where the relation stays the same, and explain a material change of sense.

Words, headings, examples, and argument structure can change. Stable YY IDs remain locators for the same claims; when moving or renaming a section, repair its incoming links or retain a useful anchor. Reconcile the corresponding diagram, method, source summary, and reading route when its meaning changes. A substantive revision can also make an old caveat, example, or auxiliary rule unnecessary.

Names and citation relationships

Use Harness, Meta-Harness, and Preference Harness as the English term names; Chinese prose uses Harness, 元 Harness, and 偏好 Harness. The first definition can pair 元 Harness with Meta-Harness. Preserve exact source quotations, code identifiers, filenames, URLs, and existing anchors.

In the Chinese reader edition, name philosophers according to their actual relationship to the main essays. When the essays scarcely mention a philosopher and the reading guide only proposes a neighboring comparison, retain the foreign name. When the essays discuss or cite that philosopher, use the established Chinese rendering. A mention created by the reading guide itself does not change that relationship. Check the argument and source, not just a name count.

Full names are not required in ordinary prose. Use a recognizable given name, surname, or common short name when the context identifies the person clearly; expand only when needed to avoid ambiguity or preserve exact source material.

For modern Chinese philosophers, use a Roman-letter name with the given name before the family name, such as Feng Ye, without adding the Chinese name. Ancient Chinese philosophers keep their Chinese names in Chinese prose, such as 周敦颐. This distinction takes precedence over the general foreign-name rule. The English edition retains English-language naming while preserving the modern Chinese given-name/family-name order.

Render Chinese philosophical concepts in pinyin in the reader-facing editions, including Yinyang, Taiji, Wuji, Wuwei, and Shuang yu. This concerns concepts from Chinese philosophy, not every philosophical term written in Chinese. Keep ordinary words and concepts from other traditions in their appropriate language. Preserve exact quotations, bibliographic original titles, URLs, identifiers, and code; naming conventions must not corrupt attribution or navigation. Use the same concept terminology in website and PDF reading projections. The source can retain stable anchors and original material while its reader-facing labels follow this convention. Reassess a philosopher's displayed name when the main essays' actual use of their work changes.

Keep English and Chinese editions semantically complete and aligned. English is the primary model-facing edition; Chinese is a full reader edition. Chinese prose uses 「…」 and nested 『…』 for marked expressions, preserving quotations, code, mathematics, and exact source material. Use recognizable current article titles in links. A bilingual website should lead each reader to the matching language where available.

Evidence, sources, and release

Attribute a borrowed philosophical concept near its use, with a useful source locator. Distinguish what the source establishes from this collection's interpretation or extension. Preserve the assumptions of formal claims and the conditions of empirical comparisons. A working URL establishes access, not substantive correspondence.

Personal claims must be grounded in attributable expression, relevant experience, and actual use. Formation does not require a complete biography. Maintain evidence and interpretations at their private personal owner, and condense only the implications the working models need. The Forming and revising working models owns how to develop and revise the situated account; Environment writing guide owns carrying it into an environment and learning from the result. Use host policy for model selection, authority, and publication rather than maintaining a second routing menu here.

The public package supplies reusable guidance and philosophy, never a copied private portrait. Keep personal records, health and relationship details, private paths, conversation identifiers, and unpublished manuscripts with their private owners. General ideas can become standalone public exposition; original private materials need their actual publication authorization.

Yinyang's original material uses Yinyang Personal and Internal Use License 1.0 under LICENSE. Preserve third-party notices and source-specific rights. Package membership does not extend that license to separately licensed tools or media.

Before release, compare the intended semantic change with the integrated reader and method texts. Check affected local links, bilingual meaning, diagram relationships, and callable package interfaces. Regenerate consumers from the authoritative source, then verify publication and actual retrieval. Source equality establishes delivery; successful use and continuing collaboration supply further evidence about fit.
