One Yin-Yang Wu-Xing Model of TCM
Although Yin-Yang Wu-Xing (Yin-Yang and Five-Elements,subsystems of human body) has been the theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for more than 5 000 years,it has been primarily analytical or empirical in nature without a formal scientific foundation.Based on bipolar set theory,an equilibrium/non-equilibrium computational model of Yin-Yang Wu-Xing is proposed.The Yin-Yang Wu-Xing dynamical systems are formulated so that equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions can be established and proved.Computer simulations of equilibrium and non-equilibrium processes show that this new approach can provide diagnostic decision support in TCM.Thus,this equilibrium-based approach provides a unique scientific basis for future research in TCM,Qi (vital energy),QiGong,Meridians and Collaterals (acupuncture channels) and herbal treatment.On the other hand,it provides a basic Yin-Yang cellular network architecture for modern scientific research in genomics such that regulation mechanisms of the ubiquitous YYI protein for cell processes can be explained.
