The Thirty-six Chinese Strategies are a collection of tactics that can be applied to very different situations. It is said that these strategies, primarily derived from Yijing with references to the gua or hexagrams have become part of the “collective unconscious” of most Chinese people and are ingrained in the Chinese's way of life. The strategies are derived from military tactics applied during the Warring States Period (403-221 B.C.) or during the Three Kingdom Period (220-265 B.C.). These set of videos use the concept of science, geometries and Yijing to explain the way to understand and to apply the yin-strategies to overcome certain situations through illusions, perceptions and deceptions- essentially a play of the forces to posture, position and project impressions to overcome and if all else fails, the 36th strategy is to take the exit to live to fight another day.

You’ll see luck, power of attraction, uncertainty and timing of action in different perspectives.
Book titled: Uncertainty, Timing and Luck on Quantum Terms in Entrepreneurship
Abstract:
Entrepreneurship researches have been curiously silent on luck since luck, itself is elusive and cannot be systematically quantified in any meaningful measurement. An explicit and systematic evaluation of where luck is situated along the spectrum of certainty to absolute uncertainty will be undertaken in this book.
All proceeds of the royalty accruing to the author will be donated to a charity -National Kidney Foundation ("NKF") for perpetuity.

This research suggests that dreams extend beyond individual experiences, offering a direct encounter with parallel realities. Jung's theory posits that the collective unconscious contains universal symbols shared across humanity, which emerge in dreams, transcending personal experiences. In this context, dreams are hypothesized not merely as reflections, simulations or metaverses but as experiential pathways into these alternate realities where various self-identities exist and interact. By merging insights from neuroscience and psychology, this study presents a model where consciousness might engage with these alternate universes through dreams. This interaction allows individuals to explore potential lives and decisions in parallel worlds. This approach deepens the theoretical understanding of dreams and opens new possibilities for personal development, therapeutic practices, and management decision-making, challenging traditional perceptions of consciousness and psychological research. This research underscores the potential of dreams to influence and expand our conceptualization of the self within the vast landscape of the multiverse.

QM represents the dynamic interplay between Heaven (天), Earth (地), and Humanity (人), offering a structured method for uncovering order within chaos. QM simplifies complex relationships between elements like the Heavenly Stems (天干), Earthly Branches (地支), Nine Stars (九星), Eight Deities (八神) and Eight Trigrams (八卦) with yin/yang (阴阳) Eight Doors (八门) into a 3x3 matrix (九宫格). As an information system, QM's variables interact non-linearly, predicting emergent patterns and probabilistic outcomes. This framework allows decision-makers, especially in venture creation and sustainability, to model various pathways and assess potential outcomes, providing a practical tool for navigating uncertainty. The study also demonstrates how QM reveals the interference effects of cosmic and environmental forces, applying scientific reasoning to predict future possibilities. By integrating principles from quantum and complexity science, QM offers valuable insights into the inherent uncertainty of complex systems, making it an effective tool for strategic foresight and decision-making. Additionally, this paper explores the role of the observer in QM. Drawing from quantum mechanics, it highlights how the observer's interaction with the system entangles with energy fields, influencing the outcome. The observer cannot be separated from the process, as their involvement actively shapes the resulting possibilities within the QM system.

Central to this study is examining the Eighth Consciousness in Buddhist thought—a realm that transcends the conventional sensory and mental states to connect with a more universal and profound awareness. Drawing parallels, Quantum Holography posits that every part of the universe retains information about the whole, much like a hologram. This notion seemingly mirrors the Jungian concept of the Collective Unconscious, which postulates a shared reservoir of memories and ideas across humanity.
The paper contends that the intricate dance of photons, oscillating between particle and wave states, mediates perception through resonance and hints at a multi-layered consciousness stratum that mirrors the vast, enigmatic quantum reality expanse. The study illuminates the intersections and divergences among these frameworks through meticulous comparative analysis, positing that an integrative understanding of quantum theories and Buddhist wisdom can unravel the human psyche’s profound depths. By weaving Eastern philosophies with the Western psychological and quantum theoretical tapestry, the discourse unveils a multifaceted consciousness comprehension, championing integrative approaches as invaluable tools for decoding the mind and universe's enigmatic interplay from a quantum viewpoint.

Wave analogies and quantum principles like superposition, non-locality, and entanglement explain fluctuations in these systems. Thus, this research suggests a paradigm shift in organizational methods towards a balanced, scientific approach. Organizations need flexible tactics and behave like dissipative structures to maintain internal coherence in chaos. Heightened through mindful techniques, corporate consciousness provides insights into temporal dynamics, improving decision-making, market resilience, and an expanded organizational ethos founded in present awareness. This heightened consciousness and demand for organizational alignment and coherence empowers the corporate entities to succeed in present conditions and anticipate and address future obstacles. This study introduces ‘Mindful Corporate Entity’ (‘MCE’), emphasizing mindfulness as a critical tool for organizational well-being and sustainability. This change is proposed to close management gaps.
The intricate dance between quantum mechanics and the Heart Sūtra's philosophical insights illumi... more The intricate dance between quantum mechanics and the Heart Sūtra's philosophical insights illuminates the enigmatic nature of the universe. This paper ventures into the waveparticle duality inherent in quantum mechanics and its unexpected alignments with the ancient wisdom encapsulated in the Heart Sūtra, revealing a reality not as a steadfast entity but as a spectrum of potentialities that morphs in the wake of observation. A pivotal focus is on the duality's emphasis on emptiness and existence, pushing the boundaries of conventional thought. Quantum mechanics, intriguingly, reverberates with Buddhist ideologies, especially the intertwined nature of all phenomena. This alignment finds further resonance in the Trikāya doctrine, clarifying reality at the quantum level to the observable material reality. As the exploration into the universe's depths continues, the Heart Sūtra emerges as a crucial beacon, underscoring the all-encompassing nature of existence and the transformative potential of the Prajnaparamita. This paper marries the Heart Sūtra's teachings with quantum science's revelations, bridging the ancient spiritual realm and contemporary scientific frontiers. Through this confluence of ancient wisdom and modern science, the paper offers an enriched perspective for spiritual and scientific scholars, emphasizing the intertwined fabric of reality.

While this yinyang theory primarily provides a conceptual grounding for Chinese natural science, it also lays a theoretical and practical basis for the Chinese worldview. We critically examine the work of Zhou Dunyi and Chen Tuan, focusing on their Diagrams of Supreme Polarity (Taijitu Shuo) and the Non-Polar (Wujitu) respectively. These texts offer a renewed understanding of the relationship between the infinite and finite or the One and many, viewed synchronously rather than diachronically. This concept is embodied in the yin-yang dialectic, the five-element transformation, 亁 qian and 坤 kun, and 萬物 wanwu (myriad things) that are spurned from the interactivities. This study further connects these traditional concepts with modern quantum theory concept such as entanglement, complementarity, superposition, and superfluid quantum space-considered the universe's primordial energy. The exploration of these parallels not only provides a deeper understanding of the ancient theories but also reinforces their relevance in the context of modern scientific theories.

It engages in a nuanced exploration of the Buddhist concept of pratītya-samutpāda or 'dependent origination' and its resonance with quantum theory's elucidation of the interconnectedness and non-locality in the universe. The paper presents a cross-disciplinary dialogue, bridging the spiritual wisdom of Buddhism with quantum theory's frontier understanding of reality through observation and consciousness and discussing consciousness's place within this nexus. By doing so, the study endeavours to enhance our comprehension of the subjective 'self' in relation to the temporality of the objective 'reality' as portrayed in both spiritual and scientific discourses. This intersectionality offers new insights and perspectives on the nature of consciousness and reality, potentially stimulating further research in physics and philosophy.

By examining these elements within the wuxing (Five-Element cycle) framework, the study highlights their role in promoting adaptability, fostering transformation, and facilitating strategic maneuvers. Furthermore, the research transcends traditional Chinese philosophy by integrating thermodynamics and fluid dynamics concepts. By analyzing Sun Zi's original text and contemporary interpretations, it advocates the enduring relevance of Sun Zi's philosophy to modern management practices, offering insights into leadership and strategic decision-making complexities. The findings enhance understanding of change emphasizing the interplay of yin and yang and the significance of strategic adaptation and projection in achieving success through the mutual production of unorthodox and orthodox methods akin to an endless wuxing cycle. Furthermore, it highlights the enduring relevance of Sun Zi's teachings for contemporary leaders, underscoring the integration of both traditional and modern principles for effective leadership in dynamic business environments. Lastly, the paper introduces a Taiji Strategy Model.

Thus, this research suggests a paradigm shift in organizational methods towards a balanced, scientific approach. Organizations need flexible tactics and behave like dissipative structures to maintain internal coherence in chaos. Heightened through mindful techniques, corporate consciousness provides insights into temporal dynamics, improving decision-making, market resilience, and an expanded organizational ethos founded in present awareness. This heightened consciousness and demand for organizational alignment and coherence empowers the corporate entities to succeed in present conditions and anticipate and address future obstacles. This study introduces ‘Mindful Corporate Entity’ (‘MCE’), emphasizing mindfulness as a critical tool for organizational well-being and sustainability. This change is proposed to close management gaps.

This paper ventures into the waveparticle duality inherent in quantum mechanics and its unexpected alignments with the ancient wisdom encapsulated in the Heart Sūtra, revealing a reality not as a steadfast entity but as a spectrum of potentialities that morphs in the wake of observation. A pivotal focus is on the duality's emphasis on emptiness and existence, pushing the boundaries of conventional thought. Quantum mechanics, intriguingly, reverberates with Buddhist ideologies, especially the intertwined nature of all phenomena. This alignment finds further resonance in the Trikāya doctrine, clarifying reality at the quantum level to the observable material reality. As the exploration into the universe's depths continues, the Heart Sūtra emerges as a crucial beacon, underscoring the all-encompassing nature of existence and the transformative potential of the Prajnaparamita. This paper marries the Heart Sūtra's teachings with quantum science's revelations, bridging the ancient spiritual realm and contemporary scientific frontiers. Through this confluence of ancient wisdom and modern science, the paper offers an enriched perspective for spiritual and scientific scholars, emphasizing the intertwined fabric of reality.

While this yinyang theory primarily provides a conceptual grounding for Chinese natural science, it also lays a theoretical and practical basis for the Chinese worldview. We critically examine the work of Zhou Dunyi and Chen Tuan, focusing on their Diagrams of Supreme Polarity (Taijitu Shuo) and the Non-Polar (Wujitu) respectively. These texts offer a renewed understanding of the relationship between the infinite and finite or the One and many, viewed synchronously rather than diachronically. This concept is embodied in the yin-yang dialectic, the five-element transformation, 亁 qian and 坤 kun, and 萬物 wanwu (myriad things) that are spurned from the interactivities. This study further connects these traditional concepts with modern quantum theory concept such as entanglement, complementarity, superposition, and superfluid quantum space-considered the universe's primordial energy. The exploration of these parallels not only provides a deeper understanding of the ancient theories but also reinforces their relevance in the context of modern scientific theories.

It engages in a nuanced exploration of the Buddhist concept of pratītya-samutpāda or 'dependent origination' and its resonance with quantum theory's elucidation of the interconnectedness and non-locality in the universe. The paper presents a cross-disciplinary dialogue, bridging the spiritual wisdom of Buddhism with quantum theory's frontier understanding of reality through observation and consciousness and discussing consciousness's place within this nexus. By doing so, the study endeavours to enhance our comprehension of the subjective 'self' in relation to the temporality of the objective 'reality' as portrayed in both spiritual and scientific discourses. This intersectionality offers new insights and perspectives on the nature of consciousness and reality, potentially stimulating further research in physics and philosophy.

By examining these elements within the wuxing (Five-Element cycle) framework, the study highlights their role in promoting adaptability, fostering transformation, and facilitating strategic maneuvers. Furthermore, the research transcends traditional Chinese philosophy by integrating thermodynamics and fluid dynamics concepts. By analyzing Sun Zi's original text and contemporary interpretations, it advocates the enduring relevance of Sun Zi's philosophy to modern management practices, offering insights into leadership and strategic decision-making complexities. The findings enhance understanding of change emphasizing the interplay of yin and yang and the significance of strategic adaptation and projection in achieving success through the mutual production of unorthodox and orthodox methods akin to an endless wuxing cycle. Furthermore, it highlights the enduring relevance of Sun Zi's teachings for contemporary leaders, underscoring the integration of both traditional and modern principles for effective leadership in dynamic business environments. Lastly, the paper introduces a Taiji Strategy Model.

Despite our experiential interaction with the tangible classical world, it is crucial to acknowledge the elusive nature of the underlying quantum framework. This paper explores the ramifications of these quantum characteristics in management science.

Moving far from equilibrium (away from fairness and justice) is a social phenomenon that warrants understanding as a science. The collective phenomena far-from-equilibrium (far from fairness and justice) are explored with nonequilibrium dynamics concepts. The paper examines the concepts in Yijing to understand stability, instability, equilibrium, nonequilibrium, centeredness, and non-centeredness. Fairness, justice and harmony (representing equilibrium and balance) are Chinese culture's most important values and highest aims because they lay the foundation for achieving harmony and balance. However, interpersonal and societal conflicts lead to social, cultural, and moral crises. This paper addresses a complex problem in the field of management scholarship. Specifically, the issue being examined is how to improve the effectiveness of management scholarship in promoting fairness and justice while simultaneously maintaining the pursuit of innovative concepts and rigorous theoretical frameworks. In response to this challenge, the paper offers a novel and prospective framework for inquiry centred on the concept of Yi harmony and its relationship with fairness and justice in the context of management with reference to nonequilibrium dynamics. This paper proposes a prospective inquiry framework for exploring the relationship between Yi harmony, fairness, and justice in management scholarship. By using nonequilibrium dynamics to expand the scope of theoretical work, this approach seeks to promote the formulation, exploration, and evaluation of alternative theories for achieving desired management values. Prospective inquiry expands the purpose, value, and application of theoretical frameworks within management research, allowing scholars to develop and implement theoretical frameworks that promote fairness and justice while maintaining theoretical rigour and innovation. Confucian culture highlights the unique ability of human beings to possess moral reason, which is essential for creating harmonious and rational existence. By promoting goodness and virtue, Chinese culture encourages establishing mutually beneficial systems and procedural justice, leading to a just society. This paper suggests that traditional Chinese culture effectively addresses contemporary social conflicts and crises by cultivating morality, social integrity, and harmonious righteousness.
The relationship between modern science and metaphysics has been challenging due to the different... more The relationship between modern science and metaphysics has been challenging due to the different ontological and epistemological perspectives they are based on. However, the challenge is mainly attributable to modern science's empirical attitude. This paper draws on Einstein’s 1915 theory of relativity and 易經Yijing’s cyclical principles, conceptualized at least four thousand years (circa 2000 BCE) to gain a new understanding of gravity from a social science standpoint. First, Yijing's origins can be traced back to the mythical figure 伏羲 Fu Xi who created the eight trigrams and 64 hexagrams. Second, King Wen and the Duke of Zhou wrote about the hexagrams in greater detail during the 11th century BCE. The third intellectual addition and augmentation happened between the 5th to 2nd century BCE, incorporating seven writings collectively known as the ‘Ten Wings’. These writings provided a framework for understanding the universe's complexities and underlying patterns, including an implication of gravity acting on all beings, things, and events, though not explicitly mentioned as gravity.
The paper introduces Einstein’s theory of relativity as a mechanism and correlates it with Yijing principles and precepts to provide perspectives valuable to the social and academic community. One of Yijing's central features is its use of 陰陽 yin-yang correlative cosmology, which involves the idea that all things in the universe are interconnected and interdependent, each possessing yin and yang energies that are constantly in flux and transformation, continually shifting in field-like fluctuation. The hexagram matrix is a system of symbols, archetypes and concepts which constitute a map that classifies and analyses reality through the eyes of the observer.
Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized cosmology and conceptualised space, time, mass, gravity, and energy. The theory concerns the relative velocity or acceleration of a frame of reference with respect to a stationary frame of reference. The approach encompasses the two interconnected theories of special and general relativity, with general relativity establishing an essential association between time and space and relating to the structure of spacetime and wave-like fluctuation where the presence of matter and energy causes curvature of spacetime.
The paper acknowledges that some may view the attempt to link Yijing with modern sciences-related themes with scepticism since the links rest on allegorical associations. However, this paper aims to mirror Einstein's central principles of the theory of relativity into a social inquiry of Yijing.
This paper provides novel and diverse perspectives using the heaven and earth framework, contributing significantly to comprehending the interconnected dynamics of qi, space, and time within Yijing.

This cosmology involves the idea that all things in the universe are interconnected and interdependent, each possessing yin (negative, feminine) and yang (positive, masculine) energies. Moreover, these energies are constantly in flux and transformation, with their balance continually shifting.
Bohm's wholeness, also known as Bohm's holomovement, is a concept developed by physicist David Bohm as part of his interpretation of quantum mechanics. According to Bohm, the universe is fundamentally interconnected and interdependent, with all aspects of the universe influencing and being influenced by one another. This interconnectedness is reflected in the behaviour of subatomic particles, which can exhibit non-local correlations that classical physics cannot explain. Bohm's wholeness is similar to other physics and philosophy theories that emphasise the universe's interconnectedness. For example, one such theory is non-dualism, which posits that there is no fundamental separation between the self and the universe and that the self is an expression of the underlying unity of all things. Finally, the concept of entanglement in quantum mechanics also suggests a fundamental interconnectedness between particles, with changes in the state of one particle instantaneously affecting the state of another particle, regardless of their spatial separation.
The significance of biantong in Chinese philosophy is explored in relation to yin and yang energies constantly transforming and balancing each other in a continuous cycle. Similarly, Bohm's holomovement concept highlights the universe's interconnectedness and constant flux. The flux-like variables provide insights into the system's macroscopic and microscopic details, where transformation and change are fundamental aspects of reality. The probabilistic nature of human affairs and subatomic particles implies that their properties continually change and transform in response to the surrounding environment, reflecting the integral interdependence of all things. This paper emphasizes the significance of transformation and changes in comprehending reality by examining the concepts of yin and yang energies, Bohm's wholeness, and flux-like variables. The dynamic and interconnected nature of the universe necessitates an understanding of this constant state of flux, whether on a macroscopic or microscopic scale. This knowledge is vital for understanding the behaviour of subatomic particles and the natural world.

They come from different cultural and historical contexts but share some similarities in their underlying principles. One of the main similarities between Yijing and quantum physics is their focus on the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things. In Yijing, this is expressed through the concept of 氣 qi, which is believed to flow through all things and connect them. Similarly, in quantum physics, the behaviour of particles is described in terms of entanglement, where particles can become linked to each other in ways that are not fully understood. Another connection between the two disciplines is their focus on probability and uncertainty. In the Yijing, divination is used to gain insight into the future and guide decision-making, but the results are not deterministic and depend on a range of factors. Similarly, in quantum physics, the behaviour of particles is described in terms of probabilities, and the exact outcome of a measurement cannot be predicted with certainty. Yijing and quantum physics also involve a degree of intuition and interpretation. For example, in Yijing, the hexagrams and their interpretations are subject to personal interpretation and rely on the practitioner's understanding of the underlying principles. Similarly, in quantum physics, the behaviour of particles can be described mathematically, but their interpretation and meaning are the subjects of ongoing debate and speculation. One way to connect Yijing and quantum physics is through complementarity. In quantum physics, complementarity refers to the idea that specific properties of particles, such as their position and momentum, are mutually exclusive and cannot be measured simultaneously. This principle is similar to yin and yang in Yijing, which represents two complementary but opposing forces that are interdependent and cannot exist without each other. Overall, while Yijing and quantum physics come from different contexts and use other methods of inquiry, they share some underlying principles related to interconnectedness, probability, and intuition. This paper explores the connections between these disciplines and provides new insights and perspectives on the nature of reality and the human experience.

Important terminologies and concepts that constitute Yijing have correlative aspects with irreversible thermodynamics and quantum reality-instability, nonlinearity, nonequilibrium and temporality. Ilya Prigogine is a Nobel laureate noted for his contribution to dissipative structures and their role in thermodynamic systems far from equilibrium, complexity and irreversibility. His expressions, as argued in this paper, resonate with the principles in Yijing. Thus, this paper attempts to restate existing interpretations of Yijing's ideas with reference to science. Understanding Yijing's terms and concepts must be contextualised to account for its pervasiveness of temporality and the change process. Otherwise, these cardinal concepts may be misconstrued as a hodgepodge of Eastern traditions with no relevance to modern science. This paper concentrates on the fundamental role of indeterminism in nonlinear systems on classical and quantum levels using Yijing's conceptual framework. It concludes that the dominant ideas in Yijing and ancient Chinese philosophy resonate with the current scientific belief-the end of certainty. Instability, far-from-equilibrium, irreversibility, probability, bifurcation, and self-organisation are intrinsic properties of nature appearing at all levels, from particle, protein folding, and DNA double helix to cosmological scales. Information is the basis of all changes, and the agency of change is the human ('ren') with a consciousness existing in the probability space between heaven ('tian') and earth ('di'). Finally, this paper outlines a modelling approach with the self-organising human in the centre between heaven and earth, representing living systems as discrete dynamical systems presented with binary choices (yin-yang). The interplay of yin and yang lines in a hexagram is thought to reflect the changing dynamics of a given situation, and the interpretation of the hexagram is based on the relationships between the yin and yang lines based on informational availability. In this way, the concepts of yin-yang and information causality are central to Yijing's understanding of change and are clarified in this paper.

Indeed, there is a scientific and mathematical fireworks when the issue of quantum uncertainties and entanglements cannot be explained with classical physics. The Copenhagen interpretation is an expression of few wise men on quantum physics that was largely formulated from 1925 to 1927 namely by Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. From this point on, there is a divergence of quantum science into the realms of indeterminacy, complementarity and entanglement which are principles expounded in Yijing, an ancient Chinese knowledge constructed on symbols, with a vintage of at least 3 millennia, with broken and unbroken lines to form stacked 6-line structure called the hexagram. It is premised on probability development of the hexagram in a space-time continuum. The discovery of the quantization of action meant that quantum physics could not convincingly explain the principles of classical physics. This paper will draw the great departure from classical physics into the realm of probabilistic realities. The probabilistic nature and reality interpretation had a significant influence on Bohr's line of thought. Apparently, Bohr realized that speaking of disturbance seemed to indicate that atomic objects were classical particles with definite inherent kinematic and dynamic properties (Hanson, 1959). Disturbances, energy excitation and entanglements are processual evolutionary phases in Yijing. This paper will explore the similarities in quantum physics and the methodological ways where Yijing is pivoted to interpret observable realities involving interactions which are uncontrollable and probabilistic and forms an inseparable unity due to the entanglement, superposition Transgressing disciplinary boundaries in the discussion of Yijing, originally from the Western Zhou period (1000-750 BC), over a period of warring states and the early imperial period (500-200 BC) which was compiled, transcribed and transformed into a cosmological texts with philosophical commentaries known as the "Ten Wings" and closely associated with Confucius (551-479 BC) with the Copenhagen Interpretation (1925-1927) by the few wise men including Niel Bohr and Werner Heisensberg would seem like a subversive undertaking. Subversive as the interpretations from Yijing is based on wisdom derived from thousands of years from ancient China to recently discovered quantum concepts. The subversive undertaking does seem to violate the sanctuaries of accepted ways in looking at Yijing principles, classical physics and quantum science because of the fortified boundaries that have been erected between Yijing and the sciences. Subversive as this paper may be, it is an attempt to re-cast an ancient framework where indeterminism, complementarity, non-linearity entanglement, superposition and probability interpretation is seen in today quantum's realities.

Each hexagram equates to each moment in space-time. With the arrow of time, a string of hexagrams represent a string of moments. A probability curve can be formed from the string of hexagrams. Physicists call this mathematical entity a wave function which is constantly changing and proliferating. A wave function is mathematical representation of all possibilities that can happen to an observed entity when it interacts with an observer. The form of the wave function can be calculated by the Schrodinger wave equation for any part of the range of moments. The string of hexagrams deal with probabilities. Physicists deal mainly with two wave forms and functions-dynamic wave that follows the Schrodinger wave equation and the second phenomenon is the "collapse of the wave function" which is abrupt and discontinuous. Which part of the wave collapses is a matter of probability and chance. The wave transition from the first to the second is call the quantum jump. This exhibited phenomenon is very similar to how the hexagram in the Yijing. When unobserved, the sequential formation of the hexagrams, moment by moment, form a probability wave but when it is observed, it abruptly collapses. It is the abrupt collapse of all the development aspects of the wave function except the one that actualizes and that particular hexagram is therefore the mathematical representation of the observed entity. What spurs all the changes is the energy that flows through the system and all the interacting waves are interconnected and interdependent and they form the energy fields. Emphasis is on the stringed hexagrams, each possesses a sophisticated mathematical structure, suggesting at the same time that it would hold great significance as an integral part of the whole of the wave or energy field. The subject of this paper is on the quantum-informational theoretical framework of Yijing.

Yijing is abstract philosophical and can provide an excellent method for generating, structuring and exploring quantum fields relevant to our present level of scientific knowledge. Further, the view of reality that science emphasizes as a seamless, continuous field is the same as Yijing where ‘self’ as particle is deeply integrated into the basic fabric of reality through their consciousness. It is this consciousness that interacts and co-relates to that field of interconnectedness. (Schöter, 2011) The wholeness of realities, in Yijing, are layer of fields interacting, changing, extending into possibilities and uncertainties. Compare with theoretical physics quantum field theory (QFT) which is a theoretical framework that combines classical field theory, special relativity, special relativity, and quantum mechanics there are many similiarities. QFT is used in particle physics to construct physical models of subatomic particles and in condensed matter physics to construct models of quasiparticles. (McMahon, 2008)
QFT treats particles as excited states (also called quanta) of their underlying fields which are more fundamental than the particles. Interactions between particles are described by interaction terms involving their corresponding fields. (McMahon, 2008) Each interaction can be visually represented by Feynman diagrams according to perturbation theory in quantum mechanics.
Yijing forms a powerful notational system for exploring the manner in which the implicate order unfolds into the explicate, from the internal to the external, for exploring the manifestation of consciousness within pattern and matter.
The general background to the discussion in this paper is the study of the relatedness of Yijing and quantum physics bringing a mystical abstraction through precise formal scientific language and constructs, at the least, an analogue of the transcendent reality in an understandable coherent framework. In short, to express in the vernacular of science which offers contemporary perspective and relatedness to Yijing.

This study synthesises the traits of agile leadership with the perspectives offered by complexity science, emphasising the substantial role of adaptable strategies in unshackling organisations from emergent phenomena. Through complexity science, this paper clarifies how organisational behaviours and outcomes arise from observing complex interrelations of fine and coarse-grained relationships between parts and explores the relational effects of such interactions within a tangled nexus. It advocates for a shift from traditional leadership approaches to a dynamic model that can navigate the inherent unpredictability of complex systems through agile practices. Strategic adaptability and the capacity to manage and navigate complexity are central to the discourse on agile leadership. Leaders observe the nuances of complexity science to identify and respond to organisational patterns and trends. The deep engagement in observation and a nuanced understanding of the organisations' ecosystem allows for identifying and capitalising on strategic opportunities in complex and dynamic interconnections and interdependencies. The paper contends that these leaders have the foresight to effectuate minor yet impactful adjustments, enhancing organisational agility and securing transient wins in unpredictable circumstances by understanding the relational attributes of components within a system. In conclusion, this paper proposes that integrating complexity science and agile leadership creates a method that empowers organisations to thrive amidst volatility and uncertainty; this is an essential sine qua non for seizing opportunities for discernible benefit. This paper establishes a theoretical framework that emphasises the significance of a behavioural response strategy, necessary for leaders who want to utilise agile leadership under challenging circumstances.

The discourse surrounding the nature and purpose of dreams is longstanding and multifaceted, engaging scholars across the domains of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience. Dreams have been historically perceived as mirrors reflecting our conscious waking life, laden with symbolic representations of our desires, fears, and experiences. Conversely, a riveting conjecture exists that dreams might also function as conduits to alternative dimensions or elevated states of consciousness, suggesting a more profound and expansive role than traditionally conceived. The investigation navigates this dichotomy, scrutinising dreams as multifunctional entities simultaneously serving as echo chambers of our lived reality and possible gateways to non-ordinary realms. This inquiry is rooted in the dual aspects of dreams: as vehicles for processing and integrating daily experiences, and as potential experiences of a distinct ontological status where the dreamer may access realities that transcend the familiar confines of space and time.

Critically analyzing Heim's multidimensional theory presents a unique opportunity to explore the multilayered fabric of reality, encompassing the micro to macrocosmic scales. This paper examines how Heim's dimensions can be integrated with modern insights into spacetime's nature, energy dynamics, and consciousness phenomena. In reinterpreting Heim's theory against modern scientific and philosophical discourse backdrop, this paper synthesizes Heim's dimensional framework with existing energy, reality, and consciousness paradigms. This integrative approach enriches our understanding of Heim's contributions and advances the dialogue between his multidimensional theory and current research in quantum physics, energy and consciousness studies.

Method: This conceptual development relies on literature review as a research methodology, using reasoning by analogy for the progress of theory and metaphors for theorisation. Results: This conceptual narrative strengthens the epistemological foundation focused on possibil...

Does it only stimulate entrepreneurs to action? Or to non-entrepreneurs as well? What it is, and what it is not? Who is an entrepreneur? The concept of opportunity has been a bedrock in entrepreneurship research since Shane and Venkataraman’s seminal work in 2000. Researchers have explored the emergence, the role and the purpose of opportunity since then. Despite more than two decades of scholarship on the construct that has moved us well beyond what Shane and Venkataraman originally defined and with seminal papers that have moved us toward a better and more sophisticated understanding of the opportunity, we are still asking who an entrepreneur is? Ramoglou, Gartner and Tsang argue that this is the wrong question. The definitional varieties and fragments move Davidsson to suggest dismantling the construct and re-contextualising it with a more suitable and coherent framework. Foss and Klein suggest doing away with the opportunity concept...

These two theories shape the discussions on how entrepreneurial opportunities are formed and have important implications for a wide array of entrepreneurial actions in different contexts. Entrepreneurial actions are predicated on profit motives. Entrepreneurs’ purposeful movement and motion acting in response to opportunities to derive profits share similar behaviours with bacterial or cell chemotaxis. Chemotaxis is the cell’s response mechanism by sensing and swimming to chemicals such as nutrients. Their pathway selections are a result of remarkable sensing and signalling properties in the mechanism. Approaches in information theory and stochastic thermodynamics can explain how pathway selections are processed from environmental stimuli. Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial pathways can be studied from these theoretical advances pivoting on information theory and thermodynamics.

By adopting a dynamic approach to study how entrepreneurs see opportunities, particularly the initial opportunities beliefs, change over time. The perceived potentialities from the signals arising from opportunities also change. Strength of the initial opportunity beliefs, morph-ability of opportunities, frequency of opportunity appearances, multiple interpretations of opportunity, latency of opportunity, observability (intensity, visibility, strength and clarity), distortions of opportunity and false opportunity are topics that are scarcely addressed in entrepreneurial opportunities studies. We argue that the signalling effects open new veins of inquiry related to opportunity and entrepreneurial actions. Instead of seeing opportunity from either the discovery or creation approaches, opportunity should be viewed as opportunity-as- artefact with embedded perceived potentialities.

We adopt a dynamic approach to how entrepreneurs perceive opportunities and form initial opportunity beliefs, recognizing that, over time, beliefs change. The perceived potentialities from the signals arising from opportunities also change. Strength of the initial opportunity beliefs, morph-ability of opportunities, frequency of opportunity appearances, multiple interpretations of opportunity, latency of opportunity, observability (intensity, visibility, strength and clarity), distortions of opportunity and false opportunity are topics that are not sufficiently addressed in research on entrepreneurial opportunities. We argue that the signalling effects open new avenues of inquiry related to the central role of opportunity in the entrepreneurial process. Instead of seeing opportunity from e...
