Features: This book analyzes the formation and evolution of the holographic view from the perspectives of Chinese and Western intellectual history and modern technology, revealing the inherent contradictions and dynamics of the holographic view. With profound knowledge spanning both the ancient and modern, the author, in a vivid and accessible language, traces the holographic view from Plato, Bruno, Leibniz, and Hegel to physical holography and Bohm's holographic view. It examines classic texts such as the I Ching, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, India's Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, and the Lingyin Jing, and discusses the holographic view in modern physics, computers, biology, and logic. Through the extension of contemporary Guangyun mathematics, the fundamental properties of infinite sets can be rephrased as: any part of an infinite set is also an infinite set. Based on this mathematical spirit of the Indra's Net, the author envisions the technological prospects of "moving from the Internet to the Indra's Net" and outlines a classic-era blueprint for "transitioning from the knowledge economy to the virtuous knowledge economy."
