The Yin/Yang Dynamic Middle Algorithm

Use when any system shows imbalance between activity and rest, expansion and contraction, attack and defense, output and input.

All algorithms

The steps

  1. Identify the axis. What polarity is the system operating along? Active/receptive, expansive/contractive, exterior/interior.
  2. Locate the Yang extreme of this axis. What does maximum Yang look like?
  3. Locate the Yin extreme of this axis. What does maximum Yin look like?
  4. Identify the current position. Is the system at extreme Yang, extreme Yin, or somewhere between?
  5. Identify the dynamic middle for current conditions. Where SHOULD the system be operating right now? The middle is not fixed — it shifts based on stage, scale, and circumstance.
  6. Determine the gap. How far is the system from its current correct middle?
  7. Apply correction. If too Yang: introduce Yin (rest, reflection, infrastructure, gathering). If too Yin: introduce Yang (action, expression, output, decision).
  8. Re-locate the middle. After correction, the middle has likely shifted. Begin the cycle again.
