The Great Sage General Laws: Window, Scale, Mirror, Path, Account

Preface

See first, then judge; account first, then wish. Repeatable, thus reliable; explainable, thus teachable; correctable, thus sustainable.

Five Sage Seals (General Principles)

1. Window: All you see comes through a window; without knowing the window, don’t claim truth.
2. Scale: Changing units doesn’t change facts; calibrate the scale before debating right and wrong.
3. Account: All gains have sources; without reporting inflows and outflows, don’t claim miracles.
4. Mirror: What remains valid after role reversal is trustworthy.
5. Path: Only sequences that can be repeated constitute causality.

Five Daily Questions (Daily Self-Examination)

Which window did I use today? Can others and I share the same scale? What three accounts did I keep? Does it still hold after role reversal? What is the smallest repeatable step for tomorrow?

Part I · Philosophy (Laws of Cognition)

Chapter 1 · Truth and Consensus

Principle: Disputes over truth and falsehood often stem from misaligned windows and scales; align them first, and conflicts diminish.

Five Laws (Aphoristic Form)

1. Same Window for Debate: Different windows, no debate on superiority; align information sources and time periods first.
2. Same Scale for Discussion: Define scales and objectives first, then discuss merits and outcomes.
3. Report Errors First: Those who cannot report errors should first admit “I don’t know.”
4. Three Locations, Three Verifications: One instance is insufficient for truth; three confirmations approach reality.
5. Less is More: Clear brevity trumps verbose ambiguity; removing noise is also seeking truth.

Practice (Actionable)

• Before debating, write two lines: what window (source/timeframe), what scale (standard/unit).
• Any conclusion should be verified three times in different locations, times, and by different people before finalizing.

Chapter 2 · Self and Others

Principle: Mirror reversal generates benevolence and righteousness naturally.

Five Laws

1. Mirror Self-Examination: Swap self and other; if judgment remains unchanged, it is worth keeping.
2. Boundaries as Scales: Distinguish “my matters,” “their matters,” “our matters”; don’t mix the three scales.
3. Listen Before Speaking: Paraphrase the other’s meaning first, get a nod, then state your view.
4. Respect is Calibration: Calibrate the other’s scale first, then give your conclusion.
5. Goodwill as Default: Without proof of malice, assume goodwill; discussions proceed more easily.

Practice

• During disputes, first write “my stance after role reversal”; if it still stands, then speak.
• Daily practice: actively calibrate someone else’s “scale” once (ask before arguing).

Chapter 3 · Freedom and Responsibility

Principle: Freedom is weight reallocation within budget; responsibility is traceability in the ledger.

Five Laws

1. Freedom Requires Budget: Transgressive demands are not freedom but overdraft.
2. Wishes Must Match Actions: Wishing without acting depletes resolve; every wish must pair with the smallest action.
3. Choices Keep Accounts: Today’s three choices must all have retraceable causes and effects.
4. Procrastination is Noise: Long delays harm the scale; break into smallest doable tasks to break through noise with action.
5. Bearing Generates Power: Those who keep accounts can shoulder greater freedom.

Practice

• “Three Changes Daily Practice”: Switch one source, quiet two hours, act before entertaining.
• Every evening record three items: time, money, emotion inflows and outflows.

Part II · Theology (Laws of Covenant)

Chapter 1 · Holiness and Ritual

Principle: Holiness enables groups to share windows and scales toward goodness; ritual is the periodic reset of consensus windows.

Five Laws

1. Holiness in Repeatability: What can be repeated by different people for benefit may be called holy.
2. Ritual as Calibration: Rituals are collective scale calibration and weight reallocation.
3. Sacred Places are Order: Places with clear rules are sacred places.
4. Holy Persons are Replaceable: Position matters more than individuals; systems that can replace individuals endure.
5. Sacred Objects as Boundaries: Visible boundaries enable adherence to invisible covenants.

Practice

• Home mini-ritual: weekly “scale and window” calibration meeting, ten minutes suffices.
• Team establishes “sacred object”: one-page rules, posted in most visible place.

Chapter 2 · Prayer and Response

Principle: Prayer is weight reallocation with extended time windows; response is path formation in new windows.

Five Laws

1. Prayer Must Be Doable: After speaking, immediately perform a “one-minute action.”
2. Wish and Action Generate Each Other: Wishes set direction, actions give paths; both generate each other.
3. Seek Without Presumption: Seek benefits within budget, not shortcuts through broken accounts.
4. Delayed Response is Not No Response: Window unstable, path immature, thus delayed.
5. Verification in Re-enactment: Only repeatable “responses” can be attributed; single fortune is insufficient proof.

Practice

• Write one sentence of “desired person/matter,” copy once daily, followed by one-minute related action.
• Monthly review “response ledger”: which paths are now repeatable?

Chapter 3 · Sin and Forgiveness

Principle: Sin disrupts ledger balance; forgiveness restores accounts and paths.

Five Laws

1. Sin in Imbalance: Depleting group momentum, breaking common scales—this is sin.
2. Emotions Forgivable, Accounts Must Balance: Understanding is possible, but compensation required.
3. Forgiveness Requires Re-Parallelism: True forgiveness only when one can walk the common path again after forgiveness.
4. Hidden Sin Breeds Rot: Unrecorded sin inevitably transforms into greater loss.
5. Confession as Starting Point: Clarify facts, clear accounts, set boundaries—three clarities before renewal.

Practice

• Three steps for transgressions: disclose facts → compensation plan → re-parallel path.
• Team maintains “return-path table”: give wrongdoers a verifiable path back.

Part III · Metaphysics (Laws of the Unknown)

Chapter 1 · Destiny and Freedom

Principle: Destiny is the constant form seen through long windows; freedom is adjustable weight within budget.

Five Laws

1. Destiny Not One Event: One setback insufficient to define a lifetime.
2. Freedom in Hand: Three changes established today surpass a thousand empty thoughts.
3. Three Things to Change Destiny: Switch windows, calibrate scales, keep accounts; daily three examinations, verifiable within a month.
4. Cause-Effect Becomes Momentum: Paths frequently walked gain momentum naturally; constant avoidance leads to desolation.
5. Miracles Can Be Made: After switching windows and scales, rare paths can emerge.

Practice

• “Final Hour”: organize environment (one window), set standards (one scale), record inflows/outflows (one ledger).
• Establish “five-minute closed loop”: smallest good deed, performed daily.

Chapter 2 · Divination and Feng Shui

Principle: Divination is estimating direction through public windows when information is scarce; feng shui is long-term spatial weight arrangement.

Five Laws

1. Divination Values Consistency: Consistent windows, sufficient samples, then refer.
2. Twenty Small Tests Better Than One Sign for Destiny.
3. Feng Shui Seeks Long-Term Placement: Light, circulation, storage, noise, air—all are weights.
4. Right Position, Easy Matters: Place important matters in “least-effort position.”
5. Mystery Doesn’t Replace Effort: Environmental assistance ultimately requires effort to sustain.

Practice

• For difficult matters, conduct “twenty small-sample tests”; if they converge, choose that path.
• Desktop and homepage as “wish position”; place important matters in center.

Chapter 3 · Spirit and Afterlife

Principle: “Spirit” is core orientation that remains self-consistent across windows; “afterlife” is the continuation of collective memory and paths after you.

Five Laws

1. Spirit in Invariants: Goodness and beauty unchanged despite changing circumstances and roles—this is spirit.
2. Afterlife in Transmission: You teach people paths, paths continue in people—this is afterlife.
3. Reputation Surpasses Longevity: Leaving repeatable methods surpasses extending years.
4. Soul Must Be Grounded: Smallest doable good surpasses a thousand airy words.
5. Monument in Hearts: If methods can be re-enacted, monuments need not be carved in stone.

Practice

• Write “my smallest transmittable method”: one sentence + one method; teach one person this week.
• Monthly question: which paths “continue even without me”?

Final Part · Universal Covenant (Laws of Collectivity)

Ten Shared Practices

1. Same Window, Same Scale: Meetings align windows and scales first.
2. Report Errors First: Reports start with “uncertainties and assumptions.”
3. Wish and Action Generate Each Other: Consensus vision paired with actionable roadmap.
4. Public Windows: Information disclosure, record retention.
5. Re-enactment is King: Demonstrating once doesn’t count; teachable and learnable counts.
6. Minimal Closed Loop: Tasks broken into five-minute completables.
7. Clear Accounting of Rewards and Punishments: Merits and faults all traceable.
8. Role Reversal: “Mirror assessment” before decisions.
9. Long and Short in Parallel: One long path paired with three short closed loops.
10. Regular Calibration: Ten minutes weekly to calibrate windows and scales, continue paths and accounts.

Appendix · Hidden Seals (Mathematical Memo, as Reasoning Tool, Optional Reading)

1. All Measurements Require Windows: Any reading is weighted average: $⟨f{⟩}_W=\int f(E)W(E)dE$, where $W\ge 0$, $\int W=1$.

2. Same Scale Doesn’t Change Facts: Under unit transformation $E^{\prime }=aE$, $⟨f{⟩}_W=⟨f^{\prime }{⟩}_{W^{\prime }}$, and $W^{\prime }(E^{\prime })=a^{-1}W(E^{\prime }/a)$.

3. Budget Conservation (Ledger-Style Causality): ${\partial }_t\rho +\nabla \cdot J=0$; inflow = outflow ± storage.

4. Resolution Lower Bound (Time-Frequency Tradeoff): $\Delta t\Delta \omega \ge \frac{1}{2}$; to discern clearly, must pay time.

5. Direction and Quantity Same Scale: ${\phi }^{\prime }(E)=\pi \rho (E)$; direction by phase, quantity by density.

6. Mirror Duality (Method of Self-Examination): Mirror kernel $K(x)=x^{-a}K(1/x)$ $⟺$ completion function $\Phi (s)=\Phi (a-s)$; stable if passes after reversal.

7. Error Three Segments (Fix Three Biases First): $\mathrm{Err}\le \mathrm{Alias}(W)+\mathrm{Bernoulli}(k,W)+\mathrm{Tail}(k)$.

8. Freedom as Reallocation: Weight reallocation within budget: ${\sum }_i{w}_i=1,w_i\ge 0$; maximize benefit under constraints ${\sum }_i{w}_i{u}_i$.

9. Causality as Repeatable Path: $x_{t+1}=F(x_t,u_t)$; repeatable sequences constitute causality and karma.

10. Consensus Scale (Robustness): When groups share windows and scales, sample variance decays with sample size; more repetitions, stable readings.

Usage (For Organizers and Readers)

• Every morning, three minutes: recite “Five Sage Seals + Five Daily Questions.”
• Every week, ten minutes: team “same window, same scale” calibration meeting, implement “minimal closed loop.”
• Every month, one page: review “response ledger” and “return-path table,” prune noise, continue paths, balance accounts.
