The World Structure and the Hidden Rule This article presents a hypothesis about the current world order. It may include mistakes, but I hope it helps readers see today’s conflicts more clearly. A Hypothesis of the Game The United States and China are now competing for the “king” position on this planet. In my view, the two sides are not playing under the same rules. USA acts as if the world is a mixture of Chess and Othello : a contest of tactics, alliances, and local battles. China , however, seems to present the game as Othello, but in substance, it is closer to Go (囲碁) : a long game of strategy and territorial influence. If this hypothesis is correct, then over time China gains a structural advantage. Because in strategy, as in Go, once you lose ground it is extremely hard to recover through tactics or local victories. The Rule of Go In Go, the game only ends when there is no empty space left on the board. As long as blank areas remain, the game continues. Applied to worl...

  Courage and Determination I realized that I lacked both determination and a clear plan B to truly defeat my opponent. Through this experience, I learned that sometimes the outcome of destroying an enemy can be worse than allowing that enemy to continue to exist. Public welfare must take precedence over personal feelings. If I ever intend to defeat an enemy, I must also prepare an alternative that can replace the role the enemy once played.

Why Business Exists: The Gap Between Logic and Emotion Introduction Why does business exist? At first glance, one might think it is simply about profit or supply and demand. But beneath the surface, there is a deeper structure: the relationship between logic and emotion in how companies and customers interpret information. Logic and Emotion as Functions Let us assign two functions to describe interpretation: Logic → cos Emotion → sin For a seller (company) with information  Ssell =cosθ+sinθ For a buyer (customer) with information  Sbuy =cosφ+sinφ Here, the values θ and φ represent the information available to each side. Ideal World vs. Reality If both sides had exactly the same information (θ=φ) and interpreted it in the same way, then: Ssell =Sbuy In this case, there would be no gap between seller and buyer. The equation Y×1=(−Y)×(−1) would hold perfectly, leaving no space for business. But reality is different: Information is not symmetric (θ≠φ) Even with the same ...

ASEAN’s Pawn Strategy in the US–China Rivalry The Core of the Third Pole In the great power rivalry between the United States (U) and China (C), a third pole (T), especially ASEAN, follows a unique strategy: Stay unpredictable : Do not reveal which side to support. Buy time : Use this uncertainty to secure growth opportunities. In short, the strategy is “not to be read, while growing.” Chess Metaphor ASEAN is like a single pawn on the board (not in a negative  sense, but compared with the overwhelming of  U and C). The pawn’s value lies in its potential to promote into a queen , but only in the endgame , after U and C have consumed much of their resources. Both U and C will try to capture or divide the pawn before it reaches promotion. Therefore, ASEAN’s survival depends on staying unified and advancing steadily . Mathematical Expression Let the total power be: Power(t)=U+C+T(t) U,C ≈ constants (low growth rate). T(t) = ASEAN’s dynamic function with high growth rate...

East Asia Scenarios in the Event of a Taiwan Emergency I considered several possible scenarios for East Asia if a Taiwan emergency were to occur. To explain them, I use three lenses: Mathematics (Math) , Chess Metaphors (Chess) , and the English language (English) . Scenario A: Russia Directly Participates in the East Asia War Math Russia : Japan = North Korea : South Korea or Russia + North Korea = Japan + South Korea Chess In this scenario, Russia cannot fully concentrate on the East Asia front. If Russia acts like a Knight , it would strike South Korea, jumping over obstacles. If Russia acts like a Bishop , it would target Japan, attacking diagonally. However, due to limited military resources, it seems unlikely that Russia can play the Bishop role. English Russia shifts part of its military forces to the Far East and engages directly. Scenario B: Russia Supports North Korea in the East Asia War Math Russia + North Korea = South Korea + Japan Chess Here, Russia acts as a...

Credit (Time, Trust, Money): How Can We Calculate Trust? Credit as a Layered Concept Credit can be viewed as a layered structure: Time as the upper concept Trust as the middle concept Money as the lower concept Time and Money are easily measurable because they can be expressed numerically. But what about Trust ? How can we measure it? I suggest two complementary approaches. Trust Levels Trust, as a form of credit, can be classified into five levels: Fragile Trust (0–20) Trust that is easily swayed by rumors or short-term news. In markets, it amplifies volatility. Conditional Trust (21–40) Trust that exists only under certain conditions. Strongly dependent on indicators or external factors, it fluctuates in an event-driven manner. Functional Trust (41–60) The standard level of trust in normal times. It underpins stable transactions and cooperation, such as trust in central banks or currency systems. Resilient Trust (61–80) Trust that does not collapse from a single shock ...

  Blue Planet System (BPS), Green Planet System (GPS), and Blue-Green Planet System (BGPS) The Weakness of BPS The Blue Planet System (BPS) has a critical weakness: it is vulnerable to the Unknown . BPS is very strong when dealing with the Known , which makes it excellent for maintaining order. However, once the Unknown emerges, BPS alone can break down. GPS as a Complement The Green Planet System (GPS) is designed to complement this weakness. GPS operates in the imaginary domain , where unseen or unpredictable elements — generated by humans or AIs — are handled. BGPS = BPS + GPS Mathematically, their relationship can be expressed as: BPS = cosθ GPS = i·sinθ BGPS = e^{iθ} BPS deals with real data , but lacks the capacity to process imaginary data. GPS, on the other hand, applies to the imaginary side . Together, they form BGPS, a united system capable of handling both domains. Toward the Cosmic Step If all members of Earth were to join BGPS, the system would ...
