Chapter 4: The Six Characteristics — the Head-on Engagement over Sameness and Difference¶

[PLANNED] This chapter has not yet been written; what follows is a skeleton. The skeleton is laid out at full-treatment scale: the brief version walks only the trunk of each item, and a later expansion thickens the same outline without restructuring.

• Whole and part, sameness and difference, formation and disintegration; the house-and-rafter exposition read in full.
• The engagement: Part 18 legislates same/different as logical constants; Huayan makes them features of the dharmadhatu. Perspective-grammar reading versus feature-ontology reading.
• "Each abiding in its own dharma": the third member of the ge-zhu syntax family, tabled with the Sarvastivada and Sengzhao cases.
