Transduality Type 3 For Arceus(Original Spirit)

In one of your scans there is only one explict mention of one duality existence.... have luck with this thread but it is hard to be implemented.
Again. It was used as an example to prove that everything has duality
Also don't use philosophies as an evidence. If the verse itself goes deep into it and explain those stuff, then it's fine to use them as supporting scan but only mentioning them won't help much
I can. If it's the same as is being described. We don't need explicit mention of Concept, for something yo be conceptual

No mate you can't. DT explicitly said you can't. No discussion for this. If you wanna discuss against a rule, go ahead and create CRT to change the rule
 
It's in the translations mate. Read it.

Primordial Chaos is wuji. Did I, or did I not show that.

With the games explicitly mentioning that everything was ONE, blended together and humans and Pokémon were the same.

If I bring out the meaning of Wuji, and the description in the games follows that, that's that.

Even if it is. As DT said, mentioning a philosophy won't count. Unless a verse explicitly explained it enough.
 
Without no assumption as well ^^
There's no assumptions here.

He mentioned that everything is governed by a certain duality

How does that mean just one duality how does that even make sense to yourself..

Plus, the translations proves you wrong. Arceus used an example to prove that everything is governed by a Duality and everything has two sides

It did. NonDuality before the multiverse

Primordial Chaos = Wuji.

And the verse explains it well, at the heart of chaos, everything was one, inside the Spirit, everything was one and the same. Humans and Pokémon everything was the same existence. NonDuality. Primordial Chaos
Wuji (無極) is Nothingness derived from Daoism. It particularly means no extremity and no polarities. It refers to the beginning stage of everything. In other words, everything starts from Wuji, Nothingness

Still type 1. This is not even close to at least type 5 truth state. At max 3 or 4.

1. Explain why it's type 1
2. Primordial Chaos is nonduality. 1 and 0 don't exist here
3. This is contained inside the Spirit

Type 3. Oblivion was also upgraded on the basis of Wuji but somehow Arceus getting type 3 from Primordial Chaos(which is another word for Wuji and literally explained as such) is wrong?

Oblivion has explicit proof of it mentioning the real Wuji and it clarifies that if not proven it could mean anything.
The xians origins Is unclear, it is said that Yuanshi Tianzun originated from the primordial void, referring to Ginnungagap.
Whether they did or not, that doesn't really matter, what does matter is that It is actually believed by the xians that the primordial void is the “wuji” (Thor & Hercules: Encyclopaedia Mythologica #1; The Xian's entry) Which could mean anything, but, in that exact image it is also believed yin and yang arose from the void, meaning it is supposed to be the real wuji

Here wuji is called primordial Chaos.

Here, Wuji is called the Primordial Chaos

Here, Wuji is called the Chaos

It's also explained the exact same in Pokémon
 
the existence of a primordial chaos does not mean anything unless chinese cosmology is mentioned. The fact it has a similar explanation does not necessarily mean it applies
Are you listening to yourself right now?

Okay let's look at what wuji/Primordial Chaos is
In Chinese cosmology there was originally hun-tun, an undifferentiated luminous cloud, a void with no boundary, emptiness, a potential state. The hun-tun is sometimes considered a state of chaos in that is undivided, whole, a state where everything is mixed together. This potential, undifferentiated primordial state is also called Wu Ji. Wu Ji means literally “no limit” or “no polarity.” It is the “One,” the place we are trying to get close to in meditation.
I didn't miss anything did I?
 
that simply proves they are similar in nature due to being a primordial chaos, doesn't mean it is Wuji
No, they're not similar in nature, the way it was described in Pokémon is the exact same

I proved they're the exact same. At least in the context of Pokémon.

Yes, we don't assume any philosophy UNLESS it's explained by the verse themselves. Which it has
 
That's what it means, everything has its own duality.

Don't ignore the other translations which supports what i just said
I don't even get how you arrived at that. It doesn't say everything has its own daylight, it says everything is governed by one duality.

The other translations don't support anything, Milly's translation basically throws the duality thing out the window
 
@Sniper670

Just because it is described the same way doesn't mean we equate it to wuji.
If you want this to apply, Pokemon would have to use the same word "wuji" or expand on chinese cosmology.

Everything is governed by a certain duality
this means everything is governed by 1 duality not everything has its own duality that governs it. That's your head canon. Especially when the only duality mentioned is existence and nonexistence.

Duality= (0,1)
Non duality= both (0 and 1) or neither (0 nor 1).
The multiverse (existence) is 1 while the distortion (nonexistence) world 0.
The Pokemon reality is then a duality (0,1).
Primordial chaos (undifferentiated nothing) is neither (0 nor 1) like you said.
The original spirit encompasses and is beyond everything. It is still beyond only 3 truth states. It being the 4th truth state (both (0 and 1)) while being beyond the other 3 doesn't give it type 3.

No?
He says everything is governed by a certain duality and how does that make sense to yourself that it means only one. Like, in what way did you understand that it means one. How is everything being governed by ONE duality. Does that even make sense to you?

It doesnt throw any duality thing out the window. The other translations support what I said.

The multiverse is being governed by duality. 1 and 0
The Primordial Chaos is neither 1 nor 0

Spirit contains within himself primordial Chaos.
for any statement A about them they are in a state that can't be described as A is true, A is false, A is simultanously true and false or A is neither true nor false
Yes. The Spirit does not fit into any of the type. Thats type 3.
 
And the other translations say the same thing. Everything has two sides, everything has two aspects

And he made an example to prove that point
 
I'll repeat, Inside the Spirit is Primordial Chaos where everything is undifferentiated and is neither 1 nor 0. So effectively NonDual

So The Spirit contains in itself NonDuality hence, any duality that comes out of it is of no relevance to it. He's literally R>F Nonduality.
That is to say, for any statement A about them they are in a state that can't be described as A is true, A is false, A is simultanously true and false or A is neither true nor false.
Original Spirit(Literally Brahman in anything but name) precedes NonDuality and contains it within himself
 
The multiverse is being governed by duality. 1 and 0
The Primordial Chaos is neither 1 nor 0

Spirit contains within himself primordial Chaos.

Yes. The Spirit does not fit into any of the type. Thats type 3.
Where is the "both (0 and 1)"? You only have "neither (0 nor 1)".
The spirit is only encompassing 3 logic states;
  • A is false
  • A is true
  • A is neither true nor false.
It needs to also encompass "A is both (0 and 1). Just cause you have the "neither" doesn't mean you can skip the "both".
Also the spirit being the "both (0 and 1)" doesn't cut it either as it would be defined in a state within those 4 logic states
 
Anyway. I had a translator from r/translator translate it. Here's what he said
So first things first, someone tried to explain the spelling, but the formatting makes it look like part of the sentence, which is why it's nonsense.

表裏一体=ひょうりいったい

So the actual sentence is すべては表裏一体なのです, or 'everything has a front and a back'

I'm using 'front and back' as a substitute for 表裏, since it doesn't translate perfectly, but the idea being conveyed by 表裏一体 is that everything has a front/face which is what's shown to other people (the surface level), and a back/rear/tail that is the hidden reality of the thing (that which is under the surface), and these two factors are both necessary and cannot be separated from one another. They are both elements of the whole, and without one, you do not have the whole

You can. As long as you don't fit into both 1 and 0 and neither 1 nor 0, it's type 3. Type 2 is either being both 1 and 0, or neither 1 nor 0.

The Spirit contained within itself Chaos. The Spirit itself is not affected by the things inside of it. The only thing that wad differentiated was Chaos. Which is why Arceus refers to the Creation trio as "Primordial Chaos".

That chaos is "neither (0 nor 1)" as you put it. It needs to also be beyond "both (0 and 1)" which I don't see anywhere. Once again, just because you have the "neither" doesn't mean you bypass the need to prove there is the "both" as well.
 
I can see @Sniper670 point. I don't know if we can say that just because you are neither 1, neither 0 and neither nor 0 nor 1 can be classified as just type 2 which is denoted by just being either 1 and 0 or neither 1 nor 0 but then again those are weird cases that I am surprised weren't covered in the transduality revision thread. Type 2 and 3 especially needing those 2 and 4 truth states is also weird. We need DT here.

Do you know the difference between Oblivion and the Spirit?

Oblivion is the Primordial Void itself, The Spirit contains this Primordial Void inside himself. And I'll point this out
And so they must obey a many-valued logic with at least 5 truth states, and not be in any of the 4 combinations of true and false mentioned earlier.
The Spirit is the 5th truth state itself. If you're absent from all 4 combinations, you're the 5th truth state
 
No?

Certain duality = 1 duality. It never stated all duality. Stop using headcanon

the Primordial Voids you are talking about are different, the former has proof of being Wuji and the latter does not
