Hawking in his book, A Brief History of Time, states “we already know the laws that govern the behavior of matter under all but the most extreme conditions. In particular, we know the basic laws that underlie all of chemistry and biology. Yet we have certainly not reduced these subjects to the status of solved problems; we have, as yet, had little success in predicting human behavior from mathematical equation!.” Even though, the behavioral sciences have been developed during the 20th century but we have not yet reached the unification of the human behavioral sciences. Today, however, with the Theory of Correlativity (the word is derived from Correlation, the reason we could study how human behave is because of the existence of four fundamental forces (or interactions) namely Strong Nuclear Force, Electromagnetic Force, Gravitational Force, and Weak Nuclear Force), I succeeded in applying mathematical equation into human behavior study – a subject which I had spent twenty five years researching and studying. Correlativity comprises the laws and concepts of Cosmology, Geography, Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology, Newton’s Gravitational Law, Einstein’s Relativity, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, Watson-Crick’s Double Helical DNA, Yi Jing (I-Ching), Ba Zi, and Zi Wei Dou Shu. Correlativity is a brand new human behavioral theory that is based on ancient discoveries and modern sciences. Correlativity theory can identify human characteristics as well as can sequence human behavior, or simply called Human Behavioral Sequencing. Human Behavioral Sequencing enables a person to display different messages based on his/her previous actions taken as well as determine the messages displayed in subsequent exposures. Human Behavioral Sequencing is divided into two categories, Macroview Human Behavioral Sequencing (or in short Macroview Sequencing) and Microview Human Behavioral Sequencing (or in short Microview Sequencing). Applications of Correlativity involve Strategic Planning, Psychological Counseling, Predictive Diagnostics, etc. Hew Yon Long 8 September 2016 Correlativity The New Genre of Zi Wei Dou Shu Contents The Special Theory of Correlativity 1-1 The Celestial Poles and The Terrestrial Branches 6 1-2 The Twelve Relation Zones 8 1-3 How To Chart the Personalized Behavior Model 9 1-4 The Derivation of 144 Human Behavior Models 24 1-5 How To Calculate The Energy Group Model Manually 46 1-6 The Uncertainty Principle 50 1-7 The Characteristic of Zi Wei Dou Shu Stars 56 The General Theory of Correlativity 2-1 The Space-time Coordinates 62 2-2 How To Chart the Personalized Space-time Behavior Model 66 2-3 The Interaction Between Stars and Humans 81 Applications of Correlativity 101 Appendix 1 A Brief Explanation of Conscious Behavior Models 150 Appendix 2 A Brief Explanation of Subconscious Behavior Models 194 Appendix 3 A Brief Explanation of Predictive Diagnostics Models 215 Appendix 4 A Brief Explanation of Stars with the Intervention of Four Forces 227 Appendix 5 Gregorian Calendar vs. Chinese Calendar 312.

  • The Sinicization of Indo-Iranian Astrology in Medieval China
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 282 September, 2018 The Sinicization of Indo-Iranian Astrology in Medieval China by Jeffrey Kotyk Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out for peer review, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form. We do, however, strongly recommend that prospective authors consult our style guidelines at www.sino-platonic.org/stylesheet.doc.

To Maria, you sharp thoughts and eyes helped me get on the correct path and develop better solutions theoretically and practically. I really appreciate that you saved me from some unreasonable solutions of this project. Without you, I could not make the 12X12 store happen. Thank you so much for your honesty, the suggestions, advice and support. You are a great mentor to work with and learn from. I learned so many things from you, especially, how to conduct the design research and how to shape, refine and sharp concepts. To Brian, thank you so much for all the resources and your seminar. I love how you gave us space to work on the topic that we are interested in. For all these 3 years, I learned so many designers’ work and cutting-edge design thinking from you.

  • Chinese Zodiac Charlee Raddish Green Intermediate School
    Chinese Zodiac Charlee Raddish Green Intermediate School 1. I will be able to teach 6 th grade students how to the Chinese Zodiac is structured mathematically in my math intervention classes. These are students who struggle to succeed in math and need remediation. Most students are in my classroom for 45 minutes daily. For this TIP I will share this lesson with the all the 6 th grade math teachers, since this lesson meets a 6 th grade indicator. I will also collaborate with the Reading Intervention teacher and have her create a Venn Diagram, comparing and contrasting the information on the Zodiacs. 2. The Chinese Zodiac represents a cyclical concept of time, rather than the Western linear concept of time. The Chinese Zodiac, or Chinese animal signs, is based on 60-year cycles consisting of 5 cycles of the 12 zodiac animals. When these cycles began is not exactly clear, but the 12 groups of animals had appeared during the Warring States Period and the Han Dynasty commonly recognized the identity of the animals. 3. There are several purposes of this lesson. First is to show 6 th grade students how mathematics is the used in the Chinese Zodiac system. Second is to compare the Chinese Zodiac to the zodiac signs we use in the United States. Finally allow students to see how the Chinese system works, find their symbol, and tell what it means.

David W. Pankenier* Abstract This article examines the question whether aspects of Babylonian astral divination were transmitted to East Asia in the ancient period.

Prolegomena To The Automated Analysis Of A Bilingual Poetry Corpus, With Particular Reference To An Annotated Edition Of “the Cantos” Of Ezra Pound Abstract Standing at the intersection of a theoretical investigation into the possibilities of applying the tools and methods of automated analysis to a large plurilingual poetry corpus and of a set of observables gleaned along the creation of a digitally annotated edition of The Cantos of Ezra Pound — a robust test-case for the TEI — the present dissertation can be read under different guises. One of them, for instance, would be that of a comedy, divina commedia or com�dia de Deus, in which the computer plays — Leibnizian harmonics! — the part of supreme intellect. A: The selva oscura is that of newly born “Digital Humanities” — burgeoning yet obscured already by two dominant paradigms. On the one hand, the constructivism inherited from poststructuralist theory; on the other, a na�ve return to the most trivial kind of linguistic realism.

  • Contesting the Greatness of Alexander the Great: the Representation of Alexander in the Histories of Polybius and Livy
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: CONTESTING THE GREATNESS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT: THE REPRESENTATION OF ALEXANDER IN THE HISTORIES OF POLYBIUS AND LIVY Nikolaus Leo Overtoom, Master of Arts, 2011 Directed By: Professor Arthur M. Eckstein, Department of History By investigating the works of Polybius and Livy, we can discuss an important aspect of the impact of Alexander upon the reputation and image of Rome. Because of the subject of their histories and the political atmosphere in which they were writing - these authors, despite their generally positive opinions of Alexander, ultimately created scenarios where they portrayed the Romans as superior to the Macedonian king. This study has five primary goals: to produce a commentary on the various Alexander passages found in Polybius’ and Livy’s histories; to establish the generally positive opinion of Alexander held by these two writers; to illustrate that a noticeable theme of their works is the ongoing comparison between Alexander and Rome; to demonstrate Polybius’ and Livy’s belief in Roman superiority, even over Alexander; and finally to create an understanding of how this motif influences their greater narratives and alters our appreciation of their works. CONTESTING THE GREATNESS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT: THE REPRESENTATION OF ALEXANDER IN THE HISTORIES OF POLYBIUS AND LIVY By Nikolaus Leo Overtoom Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2011 Advisory Committee: Professor Arthur M.
