Abstract

The purpose of writing this chapter is to highlight the main points of this book. First, from the first word in the title of this book to the last word, everything has been presented logically. It can be done because dialectics in general or the one-dot theory and along with it, for example, a series of crab and frog motion models in particular can help us to rationalize everything systematically and coherently, while non-“dialectics” sooner or later will face contradictions of one kind or another, which can be defined as something that cannot be described and explained, if not inferred or predicted, logically, systematically, and coherently.

Notes

    See, for example, Chap. 3 of Yu 2012.

  2. 2.

    In October 2014, some of my graduate students mentioned that during the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history, a theory similar to my one-dot theory surfaced. However, after googling the key Chinese characters on February 22, 2015, namely ChunQiuShiQi and YiDianLiLu or simply the latter four characters, I cannot find anything close to the truth.

    Michael Roe is concerned that many professionals including government officials in the shipping and port business have neglected the commercial, financial, legal, and operational environment of the sector, which is almost wholly global. See his book, Roe 2012.

  6. 6.

    In January 2010, my book, God, by Inference, is One-Dot: Paradigm Shift, offered the answer.

    There is no problem for us to say that Buddha is a dot, because Buddhists worship a statue. Buddhists would not be offended when we say Buddha is a dot.
