Interdisciplinary Approaches To 奇门遁甲 QIMEN DUNJIA For Decision Making: Complexity, Quantum Theory, And Predictive Science

Abstract

This study examines 奇门遁甲 Qimen Dunjia (QM) as a decision-making tool, utilizing complexity science and quantum theory to explore the interaction and interference of its variables. QM represents the dynamic interplay between Heaven (天), Earth (地), and Humanity (人), offering a structured method for uncovering order within chaos. QM simplifies complex relationships between elements like the Heavenly Stems (天干), Earthly Branches (地支), Nine Stars (九星), Eight Deities (八神) and Eight Trigrams (八卦) with yin/yang (阴阳) Eight Doors (八门) into a 3x3 matrix (九宫格). As an information system, QM's variables interact non-linearly, predicting emergent patterns and probabilistic outcomes. This framework allows decision-makers, especially in venture creation and sustainability, to model various pathways and assess potential outcomes, providing a practical tool for navigating uncertainty. The study also demonstrates how QM reveals the interference effects of cosmic and environmental forces, applying scientific reasoning to predict future possibilities. By integrating principles from quantum and complexity science, QM offers valuable insights into the inherent uncertainty of complex systems, making it an effective tool for strategic foresight and decision-making. Additionally, this paper explores the role of the observer in QM. Drawing from quantum mechanics, it highlights how the observer's interaction with the system entangles with energy fields, influencing the outcome. The observer cannot be separated from the process, as their involvement actively shapes the resulting possibilities within the QM system.
