Properties of High and Low Dimensionality
| High dimensional (Yin) | Low dimensional (Yang) |
| General Characteristics | General Characteristics |
| Expanded | Contracted |
| Loose | Tight |
| Sensitive to external motion | Insensitive to external motion |
| More projected field | Less projected field |
| Number of dimensions being projected is higher than that of our human perception (greater than 3D). Thus complexity is concentrated over a smaller volume by projection. | Number of dimensions being projected are lower than that of our human perception (lesser than 3D). Thus complexity is spread out over a larger volume by the projection. |

Direction of Movement
| Contraction | Expansion |
| Decrease in amount of field that is projected from the onefield (either by decrease in angle of projection, decrease of scale size, decrease of cycle number, or change of another property) | Increase in amount of field that is projected from the onefield (either by increase in angle of projection, increase of scale size, increase of cycle number, or change of another property) |
| Peripheral movement from high end to low end of vortices | Peripheral movement from low end to high end of vortices |
| Tightning, hardening | Loosening, softening |
| Increase in velocity | Decrease in velocity |
| Fusion of peripheral movements | Diffusion of peripheral movements |
| Pulling force | Pushing force |
| Acceleration of time | Deceleration of time |
