A clear definition of Yin-Yang is given in E[ncylopaedia] B[ritannica].12.845, and can be summarised as follows:*

(Circles)	YIN	YANG	(Circles)
U~	Earth	Heaven	S~?
G~	Female	Male	M~
A~	Dark	Light	R~
I~?	Passive	Active	A~?
G~?	Absorbing	Penetrating	M~?
	Valleys	Mountains	M~?
	Streams
	Even Numbers	Odd Numbers
U~?? (Lion)	Tiger	Dragon	J~
G~/R~	Orange (colour)	Azure	M~
	Broken line	Unbroken line

(& I notice that it mentions 'the characteristically Chinese belief in a cyclical theory of becoming and dissolution', which is unsurprising but about which I have been able to find out nothing more).**

This gives an opportunity to consider differences between Yin-Yang and Circles attributes – because (although I think old systems are an aid rather than a proof) Chinese views should be considered respectfully.

But in fact, all the comparison really serves to show is that Circles Analysis, despite the fact that one of its Resonances – Diametric Resonance** – is a directly opposite relationship, cannot really be itself analysed or fully described in terms of simple antitheses. The antitheses are indeed the beginning of it (or at least of my approach to it), but they are only the beginnning.

**(They also talk about 'an interdependence between the World of nature and human events['] – not, presumably, the obvious one!)
