CORE DEFINITION

When external pathogens enter the body, their nature changes according to the individual's constitution. In a person with excess yang, cold pathogens transform into heat (cold wrapped by heat); in a person with excess yin, heat pathogens transform into cold.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

The dye vat effect. The body is a large dye vat. When a virus (pigment) enters, the final color depends on the original base color inside the body. Treatment should focus on the result after the transformation based on the "base color," not just the original nature of the virus.

Anchor fast decisions

External pathogens transform according to the individual's constitution (excess or deficiency of yin and yang): in those with excess yang, cold transforms into heat; in those with excess yin, heat transforms into cold. The essence is a nonlinear system—the input's nature is "rewritten" by the system's state.
