Hu Xus Philosophy of Becoming (1655-1736)

*Homology: likeness in structure between parts of different organisms (as the

wing of a bat and the human arm) due to evolutionary differentiation from a
corresponding part in a common ancestor/ a branch of the theory of topology
concerned with partitioning space into geometric components (as points, lines,
and triangles) and with the study of the number and interrelationships of these
components especially by the use of group theorycalled also homology theory.
*Points, lines, and shapes are concepts of limitations, not that of substances.
*Analogy: inference that if two or more things agree with one another in some
respects they will probably agree in others/ correspondence in function between
anatomical parts of different structure and origin. (The intuitive whole is
necessarily presupposed.)
*Hologram: a three-dimensional image reproduced from a pattern of interference
produced by a split coherent beam of radiation (as a laser).
*Existence cannot be constructed. (I. Kant)
*Regulative and Constitutive Principles
