Wuji System and Taiji System | Internal Reference¶
This version presents source content in faithful translation for deep study. All passages are from Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization Chapter · "Blueprint Overview" series, authored by Qiankun Cao, 2009–2010.
I. Overview — Naming and Scope¶
"In abstract terms, the blueprint comprises two systems. I name them the Wuji System and the Taiji System." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Wuji System, 2009-12-22)
"The Wuji System and the Taiji System are the most fundamental relationship-systems in the cosmic order — the greatest systems of all, encompassing everything from macro to micro, from spirit to matter. They are interdependent and unified: layer upon layer yet alive and fluid. Hence Laozi said, 'When the uncarved block is split, it becomes implements; the great system is not divided.' And Confucius said, 'A noble person is not a mere implement' — meaning the noble person operates from the level of the great system, not merely from one specialized function." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: Wuji-Taiji Relationship I, 2010-1-27)
II. The Wuji System¶
2.1 The Cosmic Basis¶
"Because of Wuji's existence — standing alone, unchanging, cycling without exhaustion — the universe displays extreme sensitivity. The Greatest Creator can rely on this property to create and govern the universe. For any event that occurs anywhere in the universe necessarily produces information that reflects the truth of what happened. That information-truth can be perceived, enabling management and adjustment of the universe's operation." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Wuji System, 2009-12-22)
2.2 Definition¶
"This mechanism — relying on Wuji's properties so that LIFE can obtain the truth of events through its conscience and innate capacity, then respond, adjust, and ensure the survival of the whole — is called the Wuji System." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Wuji System, 2009-12-22)
2.3 Two Requirements¶
"The Wuji System first requires that LIFE have a holistic grasp of the Tao's operation and understand the laws governing the world — so that each person has mastery over the domain they are responsible for. Second, it requires unobstructed information channels: transparent, public information release, so that people can know the truth of what is happening and act in accordance with reality." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Wuji System, 2009-12-22)
2.4 Social Expressions¶
"In human society: press freedom, political and economic transparency, scientific and democratic decision-making, and the construction of information infrastructure such as the internet — all of these are expressions of building and perfecting the Wuji System.
The Western tax-reporting system, for instance — making personal wealth public, enabling government to adjust the distribution of social wealth and prevent dangerous polarization — is also an expression of the Wuji System." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Wuji System, 2009-12-22)
2.5 Transmitting the Tao Is Building the Wuji System¶
"The most critical point in establishing the Wuji System is to reach every individual — to reach every person's mind and heart, so that humanity understands the Way of the Greatest Creator and the laws of cosmic operation. It is from this root of truth that humanity can build a new world and a new humanity in accordance with the earth's actual physical and ecological character. So when we transmit the Way of the Greatest Creator and spread Lifechanyuan's values, we are essentially building the Wuji System: so that everyone holds hands and connects hearts, resonates at the same frequency, recognizes each other as brothers and sisters and as expressions of the Greatest Creator — and can then work as one to open the new era." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Wuji System, 2009-12-22)
2.6 Present Accountability¶
"In traffic: before surveillance cameras, many drivers were unwilling to obey traffic rules — running red lights, causing fatal accidents, and often escaping undetected. After cameras were installed, everything that happened could be known immediately and present accountability followed immediately — and drivers no longer dared to break the law. This is the Wuji System at work." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Wuji System, 2009-12-22)
III. The Taiji System¶
3.1 Definition¶
"The Taiji System refers in summary to all the laws and principles established by the Greatest Creator to maintain the stable existence of the universe." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Taiji System I, 2010-1-8)
3.2 Two Core Concepts¶
"To understand the Taiji System, the most important thing is to understand its two key concepts: the support structure and the manifestation structure. These two complement each other and together give rise to all the phenomena and laws of the universe. All principles and rules are established through these two." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Taiji System I, 2010-1-8)
3.3 The Support Structure¶
"The support structure is the foundation of any thing's existence. Separate any thing from its support structure and it necessarily collapses and disappears. The support structure is the bedrock and skeleton of any thing's existence." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Taiji System I, 2010-1-8)
"The material world is supported by the antimatter world — this is determined by the sequence of cosmic creation. The support structure is the expression of cosmic creation's sequence. Wuji gives rise to Taiji; the Greatest Creator is born; through the creation of gods the cosmos forms its stellar systems. The creation sequence runs from antimatter world to material world: the antimatter world supports the material world, and the Greatest Creator supports the entire universe." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Taiji System I, 2010-1-8)
3.4 The Manifestation Structure — Formation, Abiding, Decay, Emptiness¶
"The manifestation structure is the system formed by the many classes of manifestation each cycling through their own 'formation-abiding-decay-emptiness' process while mutually supporting one another. Through the periodic cycling of each manifestation class and the flow of resources among them, the system achieves stable existence — and the universe's ten thousand phenomena pulse with unceasing vitality." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Taiji System II, 2010-1-21)
3.5 The Creative Principle¶
"The Taiji System articulates the principle of creation: everything in the world is created, and must be maintained through the devoted labor of living beings. In the human world, the process from decay to emptiness to formation is the process of labor turning raw material into products, of giving service; the process from formation to abiding to decay is the process of using products and receiving service, of receiving." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: The Taiji System III, 2010-1-25)
IV. Their Relationship — The Mind-Matter Framework¶
"The Wuji System emphasizes spiritual awareness — its source is xing (primal nature), its expression is the whole-creation consciousness of heart connected to heart, belonging to the realm of 'mind.' The Taiji System emphasizes the mathematics of creation, belonging to the realm of 'matter' — expressed through the construction of support and manifestation structures, its source is the Greatest Creator, its emphasis is creation and maintenance. The relationship between the Wuji System and the Taiji System is the mind-matter relationship — which is the central concern of Mahayana Buddhism." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: Wuji-Taiji Relationship I, 2010-1-27)
V. Non-Action and Universal Welfare¶
"Non-action (wu wei) is the ideal state of the Tao's operation — the state where mind and matter flow together as one. From the Taiji System's perspective, this means: the support structure is stable, the living environment has no sudden natural disasters, energy supply is abundant, and the formation-abiding-decay-emptiness cycle of the manifestation structure runs automatically with minimal human labor. Everything needed is provided by the manifestation structure's cycle — through non-action one obtains everything, life is rich: this is universal welfare." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: Wuji-Taiji Relationship II, 2010-1-28)
"The Wuji System focuses on digital management — articulating the entire operation of the Taiji System in clear numerical terms. The human welfare society is at its core a digital welfare society." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: Wuji-Taiji Relationship II, 2010-1-28)
"True private ownership means reflecting labor, responsibility, and equal exchange, protecting individual space and personal privacy. True collective ownership means building and expressing the holistic character of the Taiji System — enacting social welfare. And to realize social welfare, one must rely on the Wuji System's digital information management. Without the Wuji System, the principle of fair and just present accountability — where each receives in proportion to what they give — cannot be realized, and social welfare cannot be established." (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization · Blueprint Overview: Wuji-Taiji Relationship II, 2010-1-28)
