The Art of War Codified

The Art Of War is a method by Sun Tzu to move between conflict and harmony. To remember by heart its 391 lessons is easy with the code about the five factors of conflict, which is the mindset or guide he presents in the first of thirteen chapters.

To move from conflict into harmony is best achieved by leveraging any of these factors. This design includes an order of these factors from the most subtle (up) to the most dense (down):

1) Heaven: cycles, seasons.
2) Morale: the spirit across all.
3) Commander: who unites heaven and earth.
4) Method: how all is organized.
5) Earth: ground, encounters, terrain.

In this design I uncover another clue: the Commander (vertical line) is in front of Morale and Method as he/she is able to change these with ease, and is behind Heaven and Earth as he/she recognizes with humility that he can adapt to these with ease.
