Eye wonders if a chang dao exists.

In this context, rCLchang daorCY (o++oUo)
refers to the rCLeternalrCY or rCLunchanging Way.rCY

Perhaps Wu is eternal and unchanging, in a Way.
Neo-Daoists were said to have taken that route.

The text doesnrCOt prove a chang DaorCo
it only frames the idea as a contrast.

The rCLeternal DaorCY may be just a conceptual fictionrCo
an idea we create to point beyond words, rather than something
that actually exists.

Reminds me of Life. To reify a concept may occur.
Similar to nation states of mind, except different.

Forms of what is called, Life, suggests a thing,
a noun if not a verb, exists above and beyond forms.

Life, as a form of Being, could be in a similar category.

Presuming a myth is a fact
could be what some presumptions do.
As if a presumption could.
