From the perspective of isolation, the three actions of no form (isolation action, motive force action, and manifestation action) are generated by the combination of no form and different forms. These three actions are indeed distinguishable and different, and their differences are due to form. However, the three no forms (isolation, motive force, and manifestation) behind them are actually the same and identical. Although they have generated three different names (isolation, motive force, and manifestation) due to their three different actions, the essence of these three no forms is the same. Only their names are different. Therefore, the three actions of no form are ultimately based on the same "no form". This suggests that no matter how diverse the phenomena are, there is a unified principle at work behind them. It provides a way to understand the unity of the world that transcends the diversity of appearances. This perspective is conducive to eliminating absolute binary oppositions and promoting the integration and unification of theories.
The characteristic of "no form" is that it possesses identity, which is the identity of itself with itself. Moreover, no form does not contain any distinguishable form, which is an intrinsic identity. Therefore, no form, having these two types of identity, is absolute identity (as for the relationship between these two types of identity, we'll discuss it later). Since no form has no form at all, no form is "one", it is true identity. In other words, although no form combined with form can produce three different no form actions: isolation action, motive force action, and manifestation action, the no form is always the same. This indicates that despite their differences, they share a common origin and fundamental nature. This suggests that the three no form actions are interconnected under the basis of no form identity. "Interconnected" means that the three no form actions can be mutually transformed or united, because the foundation that produces them is no form. This characteristic of identity is spoken from the perspective of no form manifestation. Therefore, the identity relationship of the three different no form actions is the manifestation relationship among the three actions of no form.
The characteristic of mutual transformation among the three no form actions is spoken from the perspective of no form motive force. This is because, through the no form motive force action, these three no forms can mutually transform and change. This relationship of mutual transformation is the motive force relationship among the three actions of no form. The united nature among the three no form actions means that the same thing can have three different actions, that is, three different no form actions can be distinguished for this thing. Since the basis of the three different no form actions is the same no form, they possess a united nature. This distinguishable united relationship is the isolation relationship among the three actions of no form.
Summary:
"Isolation relationship" means that no form isolates itself into three different actions: isolation action, motive force action, and manifestation action. No form, when combined with form, expresses itself in these three different modes of action. These three no form actions can be applied as perspectives to a single thing. This is the "isolation relationship", which means examining a thing from different angles. It demonstrates that no form can present itself in various ways, showing its richness. The isolation relationship allows no form actions, despite having the same origin, to exhibit differences in their functions and manifestations.
"Motive force relationship" explains that the three no form actions can be mutually transformed, because they are all based on the same no form. Thus, different actions can establish connections through the "motive force relationship".
The "manifestation relationship" refers to the essential identity of the three no form actions (this is a characteristic of the manifestation action), as they are all no form. No form is absolute identity without any form. It is precisely because of this "absolute identity" of no form that the three seemingly different actions can mutually transform and be used in combination. This "identity" serves as a consistent thread, binding the theory tightly together, making it an organic whole rather than just a collection of fragmented viewpoints. These relationships enrich the connotation of no form as an "absolute identity", giving no form not only intrinsic unity but also external diversity. It reflects the essence of the three no form actions as being independent yet interconnected. The manifestation relationship maintains the identity of self with self; The motive force relationship maintains identity within change; The isolation relationship maintains identity within separation, as the three separated actions can be unified within a single entity. (The notion of "unity in difference, difference in unity" seems somewhat similar to dialectics. However, the question arises: which is more fundamental, dialectics or the theory of no form action? Can dialectics establish the theory of no form action, or can the theory of no form action establish dialectics? This is a significant question that warrants further discussion in the future.)
