Not dichotomy or dualism. Polar relations are internal, which means that they are fully interdependent. Dichotomies and dualisms are externally related. Atoms are externally related to one another. Body and soul not dependent on one another (Yoga). Or soul affects changes in the body but the soul does not change (Christian dualism).

•Past remains the same but the present constantly changes. That means the past is externally related to the present but the present is internally related to the past.  This is called an asymmetrical internal relation. It is just like the Christian God  that remains the same but the world constantly changes. Transcendent God rather than Asian immanental deity. (Make sure you keep immanent, eminent, imminent distinct in your mind.) In the world rather than beyond the world. What about Tian=Heaven? Moral laws and natural principles are immanent. Heaven’s constancy is only a model for moral integrity.
