5.Multifold Ways to Understand and Describe the World

In order to care for the immediate needs of the current situations, practitioners have to handle an etiology with features that are “as yet unknown, but known to exist”. We never know all of the causal relations of the world because the speed and capacity of our brains to process that information is limited and so is the technology to measure those phenomena. The West and the East have tried to overcome these difficulties differently: the West settled on boundary conditions and restricted a refined analysis to within such boundaries and then secured precision and reproducibility within them. This approach tries to increase the “knowns” while banishing the “unknowns” to caveats and background assumptions. The Eastern approach instead reduced complexity into a limited number of patterns for transitions of states in general forms based on extensive accumulated experience. This sacrifices precision and reproducibility to prioritize the inclusion of “unknowns” by allowing much ambiguity to remain. Thus, Western medicine has succeeded via precision through exclusion, whereas Eastern medicine has been organic and mystic.
