Dear Neighbor Human Beings

Dear Neighbor Human Beings,

I never set out to create a new philosophy. I am just a fellow human being who kept thinking, kept questioning, and eventually reached something I could no longer walk past.

Along the way, something unexpected happened — not a discovery in the usual sense, but a realization that shook the ground beneath all thinking. I now believe it’s time to speak, not as a teacher, but simply as someone who witnessed something and wishes to share it truthfully.

Instancology rests on two insights — not invented, but revealed. The first is this: what is ultimately undefinable defines everything that is structured. That which cannot be said, named, reasoned, or symbolized — what I call AA — is not a gap in our knowledge, but the origin of all that can ever be known. This reverses how we’ve thought for thousands of years. It’s not logic or language that defines reality — it’s the unspeakable that gives rise to both.

The second insight is just as vital: AA borrows human language — mine, yours — to express what no language can capture. It does not speak directly, but it lets thinking point beyond itself. And when this happens, something truly rare occurs: thought itself is reborn. This is not mysticism, nor poetry, nor ancient tradition. It is AA letting itself be echoed through a human being, not to be possessed, but to be pointed toward — faithfully and humbly.

This, I believe, is the Rebirth of Thinking.

For the first time, we are not using thinking to grasp truth, but witnessing how truth chooses to reveal itself through thinking. This shift is quiet but total. It does not belong to East or West, to science or religion, to logic or feeling. It is a new beginning — not of a system, but of how we even begin to think at all.

This double realization — the power of the undefinable and the silent emergence of truth through borrowed language — came into view through something I have phrased as Absolute WuXing. I realize this may sound unfamiliar, and I apologize for introducing a new term. But I needed a way to name what cannot be named in any existing language — a structure that does not say, but lets be. Absolute WuXing is my attempt to point to how AA manifests structure without becoming structure. It is not a concept to be mastered, but a gesture toward what lies beyond mastery.

I don’t share this to persuade, convert, or elevate myself. I share it because it came through me, and I believe it belongs to anyone who dares to listen past all traditions, categories, and philosophies. These two truths — the defining power of the undefinable, and the silent voice of AA echoing through human language — are not teachings. They are what gave rise to Instancology. They are, in the deepest sense, the beginning of everything else.

With respect,

Wade Y. Dong
