In this video I continue my commentary on the book Dao De Jing by the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Zi. I expound on the relationship between a form and its instantiation. My comments are not an interpretation of the words found in the book, but rather my thoughts on topics that are related to those covered by Lao Zi.
