Keep going, Yin and Yang & Positive and Negative

Talked with Richard at Monday. Good news is that he thought the topic and subject issues are fine and he expected more from my research. And also he wants me to "design" something based on the topic.

THese two days I was trying to find the point to get in to "design", which is kind of hard because I don't have any idea of what should I "Design" at this moment.

But I did find out more about the topic.

Yin and Yang are to primary opposing which are complementary forces found in all things in the universe. These principal things include being, knowing, substance, cause identity, time, and space. Yin is the darker element, which is sad, passive, dark, feminine, downward-seeking, and corresponds to the night; Yang is happy, the brighter element which is active, light, masculine, upward-seeking and corresponds to the day. Yin is often symbolized by water, while Yang is symbolized by fire.

Just like positive and negative, Yin and Yang are descriptions of complementary opposites rather than absolutes. When we create a shape on our canvas, not only we create the Yang, the positive shape, but also we create the Yin, the negative space around positive shape.

Summary of Yin(Negative) and Yang (Positive) concepts(relationships).
1, They are opposites.
2, They are interdependent
3, They can be further subdivided into one of them
4, They are consume and support each other
5, They can transform into one another
6, Part of one of them is in part of another.

The only problem to argue the relationship between positive and negative with The Eight Diagrams is that for Gan (Father, positive) and Kun (Mother, negative), there is no opposite part inside.

I need visualize the Summary first I guess.
