Wu Wei in Chuang Tzu as Life-Systematic

Wu wei (non-doing) in Chuang Tzu is expressed in story-bits reflecting life-slices. They are lifesystematic, not random, not having a system. One; Chuang Tzu is a dragonfly over the pond of life, dotting the water of daily ongoing without dotting it. Two; the dotting is dot-sayings that yam life\u27s concrete bits into story-coherence. Three; Chuang Tzu dots and struts around to let others say, and life-coherenc.e appears. FoUl\u27; life-coherence is a life-family of concrete bits, a thread of many life-fibres twisted together. Five; Chu Hsi and Chuang Tzu have dot-sayings that draw readers into making systems of their own to attribute them to Chu and Chuang Tzu. System is then a verb, to let-make systems, weaving out a system beyond system. Six; this system-beyond is expressed in spontaneous flexuous story-nets to cipher comprehensive/ systematic life. Seven; being flexibly systematic expresses the inexpressible One Poem of life. All this while, Chuang Tzu has been winking at us, letting us spin out all the above. That is tacit wu wei- of living happily ever after

In Praise of Pain

As Buddha rightly announced all sentient beings are engulfed in the vast ocean of pain worldwide Strangely however no one in world history seems to have squarely stared at pain and deeply meditated on pain itself so important so essential to living and so internally ubiquitous This essay attempts to probe pain to harvest two surprises so incredible radically negative and radically positive First one I find pain as mine yet not mine so unbearable that I have to wail it out writ precise and clear on paper to stare at as I hug my toothache or my heartache showing my pain to my pals Then two I am astounded to find my pain thus confessed on paper exercises prudence I have found in life to spread in my life and to share with my friends socially into cosmopolitanism heartfelt Thus three after a brief comparison of joy with pain pain is seen as worthy of being praised as an unbearable dynamo of cosmic concord in human greatnes

Expert systems for automated maintenance of a Mars oxygen production system

A prototype expert system was developed for maintaining autonomous operation of a Mars oxygen production system. Normal operation conditions and failure modes according to certain desired criteria are tested and identified. Several schemes for failure detection and isolation using forward chaining, backward chaining, knowledge-based and rule-based are devised to perform several housekeeping functions. These functions include self-health checkout, an emergency shut down program, fault detection and conventional control activities. An effort was made to derive the dynamic model of the system using Bond-Graph technique in order to develop the model-based failure detection and isolation scheme by estimation method. Finally, computer simulations and experimental results demonstrated the feasibility of the expert system and a preliminary reliability analysis for the oxygen production system is also provided
