Yin Yang and HOLONS

The basic image of the membrane on the left comes from a website on beautiful mathematical 'eversions', but the membrane is there completely intersectable (and makes it possible to turn a sphere inside out) which is not possible in our approach. Our point of view is that the membrane is non-breakable. It can penetrate but never break. This image offers the possibility to visualize in another way the Prior-geometry (Wu Chi), but also to explain the famous Yin Yang duality that comes from WU CHI.

In the empty sphere there is however NO Yin and Yang! The spacetime membrane has two sides and we can call the inner side: the YANG side since that represents a CLOSED system, and the outer side: the YIN side. This however a conceptual difference. The manifestations as holons on both sides are always due to a unique combination of both aspects. The oscillating dynamics of Prior-Geometry will bring on both sides holons and blankets (layers) of holons of growing complexity. Some people will call that complexity of 'unitities' holographic (cf. Bohm) but it is in fact holonistic.
The combinations of Yin and Yang are symbolically expressed in the I Ching (Book of Changes) by 64 combinations of Yang (full line) and Yin (broken line) and offer basic frames (by Hexagrams) which are also used for divination.
With pelastratic layers we prove that the I Ching combinations represent various combinations of spacetime membrane layering, each with unique properties caused by other type of internal friction. We show also that there are more basic combinations than I Ching provides (cf. numbers).
You will recognize the basic Yin Yang logo in the image on the right. The totality is a restructured shape of the membrane sphere. Inside the sphere is now a zone of the outside. So the outside is inside the inside. ;-). Yet we can look for some basic combinations of these two positions, and that brings us 4 BIGRAMS or 4 different holons, each with another layering history.
You can notice that the YANG holons appear on the YIN side of the sphere ! We see here how the manifestations have DUAL aspects. For example: a YANG person (shorter length like women) have a more YIN spirit (e.g. will talk more).

I used a double layer for the 'old' Yin and Yang, and you see that the two coupling peaks are empty (not pushed by another peak). For the 'young' Yin and Yang I used a simple deformation of the membrane provoked by a contacting membrane peak (oscillation). Both old and young contain locally two layers but the old ones are separated by two membrane parts. (the green dotted line is the inner boundary of the outer passive tube.)

Another point is that there are more ways to present for example Old Yang, such as an outwards self-pelastrating tube (see holon Nr. 10 on the consciousness page3) or a straight pelastratic coupling but at the INSIDE of the total system.

This images shows us that the Old Yang can appear at the outside of the sphere ... but also at the inside. In both cases the Yang holons are covered with Yin layers. The difference in position has although an important consequence: The outside old yang holon and tube can expand without limits, but the inside old yang holon can only grow within the limits of the inside yin zone. If this inside old yang has sufficient power he can deformate however also the Yin zone and provoke an pelastrating action like a Young Yang.

Such new combinations bring us more complicated (multilayered) holons like we see in TRIGRAMS and Hexagrams. I Ching refers to 64 theoretical combinations but our approach gives much faster much more geometrical combinations of the spacetime membrane, and we see this as the 'real' development of our Universe.

Here we symbolize with different colors how the Young Yang holon layers will have friction between them. This local friction will cause excitations and oscillations which appear in our world like ElectroMagnetism, Radiation, etc.
