The Yi Yuan Ti contains all the information of human life, akin to the "primordial chaos" described in modern physics.
It possesses the ability to receive various information and reflect things; the function to store, synthesize, analyze, and retrieve information; and the capacity to issue informational instructions.
When undisturbed by external influences, it remains in its original uniform state, similar to the ancient saying of "serene and motionless."
When subjected to various disturbances, it generates reflections and responses that align with the external objects, analogous to the ancient notion of "responding and comprehending upon stimulation."
It can be compared to a mirror: when no object is present, the mirror is empty; when an object appears, the mirror reflects its image. However, the mirror's reflection is singular and planar, capturing only optical characteristics.
In contrast, the Yi Yuan Ti is boundless, capable of reflecting all attributes of things as well as its own intrinsic qualities.
When the Yi Yuan Ti establishes connections and response patterns with the external world, the movements and processes within it constitute conscious activities.
