Mining Dao

This book presents a novel methodological discipline that treats accumulated wisdom—such as proverbs and maxims—as structured carriers of formal constraints shaped by repeated interactions with reality. Instead of interpreting these cultural artifacts, it offers a systematic process to extract underlying rules and general laws that govern stability and adaptation in complex systems. Positioned between the humanities and sciences, the work provides a neutral toolkit for transforming cultural memory into reusable and provable knowledge, emphasizing formalization without sacrificing depth.
