CORE DEFINITION

A strange disease recorded in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. Symptoms appear and disappear unpredictably like a fox, manifesting as ulceration of the throat (upper) and anus/genitals (lower), accompanied by mental confusion. It resembles modern Behçet's disease.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Orifice erosion model. This is a damp-heat toxic worm that runs through both ends of the digestive tract. Because the damp-heat worm toxin scurries around inside the body, it specifically bites the 'holes' at both ends of the human body. Treatment requires internal administration and external washing to kill the worm and resolve the toxin.

Fox Creeper Disease is characterized by 'erosion of the throat is confusion, erosion of the genitals is fox', red eyes, and recurrent attacks, resembling modern Behçet's disease. The mechanism is mostly damp-heat toxic pathogen accumulation.

Glass Walls

Distinct from the 'glass ceiling' (vertical promotion barrier), it refers to women or minority groups being isolated in certain functional departments (e.g., HR, administration), making it difficult to move laterally to core business departments (e.g., sales, R&D), thereby lacking the key experience needed for promotion.

Inertia

Inertia is the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its velocity to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and is described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion (also known as The Principle of Inertia). It is one of the primary manifestations of mass, one of the core quantitative properties of physical systems.
