Tai Chi Thought and research on software problems

By using the essence of Tai Chi Thought (TCT), software´s characteristics are analyzed, and a new kind of method for solving software problems is provided. The basic elements of TCT are introduced and their application is discussed. Software, in general, not only has a weakness such as abnormality, but also has a strength, namely plasticity. The complexity of software is due to the complexity of human consciousness, because software is a kind of intelligent product. Based on the TCT´s two sides, soft ways and hard ways have been proposed to solve the problems of software. To solve software problems, moral force should be utilized, and software needs to be hardening and hyalinizing. Following the Tai Chi movement rule, the illegal duplication must be restrained, and flexible self-repair software should be promoted.
