- Each channel system represents a different register of time, and a different world
- One must interact with each channel appropriately according to its temporicity
- Depth is really an expression of temporicity (viz. Shaoyin vs. Jueyin)
- All references to time in classical texts are highly symbolic
- Flow and movement are intrinsic to temporicity (and also define "Channels")
- Bi 痺 is thus stopped time.
- Movement precedes and implies direction.
- Direction precedes space.
