Good question Nobody, does anybody out there have a turntable? You can get a large copy of the diagram on the internet.

R.P. Thank you so much for those kind words. ( parallel universe inspiration came from you though)

I had no trouble locating the site this time. So all is well.

Well let me report some additional research I did.

I guess none other than the great Gottfried Leibniz, had an interest in Chinese symbols also. In fact he was the first to come up with the binary number system, and made the connection between the I Ching symbols and binary numbers.

Writing on the Tao Diagram Richard Wilhelm wrote:

"What it posits is simply....the line. With this line, which in itself represents oneness, duality comes into the world...the world of opposites."

Best to all, and again thanks R.P.

Pat
