Glossary

SPT is the abbreviation of Supreme Polarity Theory — Thuyết Thái Cực Vạn Vật in Vietnamese — the framework proposed by Phùng Minh Đức Anh. Throughout the wiki, "SPT" and "Supreme Polarity Theory" and "Thuyết Thái Cực Vạn Vật" all refer to the same theory.

Smallest unit of reality. The primordial geometric object the entire universe is built from. Every electron, photon, atom, planet and galaxy is a descendant of nodes branching from the original One.

A Pattern of Tai Chi Nodes is a coherent, phase-locked cluster of many Tai Chi nodes that behaves as a single integrated entity. Every conscious being — every person, every animal, every soul — is a Pattern of Tai Chi Nodes whose phase-state is integrated enough to produce inner experience. The body is the Càn-projection of the Pattern; the Pattern itself is multi-slice and persists across death and rebirth. "Soul", "linh hồn", "identity", "consciousness", "the self" in the SPT framework all refer to the integrated Pattern of Tai Chi Nodes.

Light-dark film on the node's surface. Full definition →

Light ↔ dark swap of the membrane. Produces all electromagnetic radiation: photons, light, radio, X-rays, gamma rays, electric and magnetic fields. Every EM ray and every EM field is a flip phenomenon of Tai Chi nodes.

Internal rotation of the two poles of a node. Produces mass, matter, gravity, and the strong/weak nuclear forces.

Angle θ tracking the membrane's orientation. Two patterns are in-phase when their θ angles align (attract); anti-phase when they oppose (repel).

Two or more nodes settling into a synchronised phase configuration that resists thermal disruption. The mechanism behind chemical bonds, atomic stability, neurons, organisms, families and civilisations. Also the basis of cause-and-effect, karma, and the Law of Attraction.

Worldline of the One Tai Chi — a 1D object along which the universe extends. Our 3D space is a cross-section of it.

Outermost surface of the time-string, where the membrane lives. Full definition →

Eight stable angular cross-sections of the time-string. Each is a literal 3D reality. Full definition →

Our material reality slice (☰). Yang-dominant. The 3D world we observe.

The dark slice (☷). Yin-dominant. The realm of dark matter, dark energy, the unconscious, and the resting state of patterns after death.

A node's membrane patch can extend across multiple Bagua slices simultaneously — the geometric basis of superposition. Full definition →

$1\to 2\to 4\to 8\to \dots$ — the recursive doubling that takes the One Tai Chi node into the trillions of nodes that constitute the present universe. The geometric driver of cosmic expansion.

The integrated record of every phase-imprint a Pattern of Tai Chi Nodes has accumulated over its history. Equivalent to karma (nghiệp) in Eastern tradition.

Đồng pha = same θ, attracting (matter clumping, love, kindness, gravity). Trái pha = opposite θ, repelling (electrostatic repulsion, conflict, destruction). The single rule from which every force in nature is derived.
