The Principle of Duality
The Principle of Duality views a system as a combination of two homogeneous opposites, each of which contributes to the existence and development of the system.
Duality is the cause of the potential difference in the system. This potential difference, in turn, is the source of movement (life) in the system. The system’s movement is always directed toward the potential that acts as the «leader».
Ultimately, examining a system through the lens of the Principle of Duality allows us to identify the two «triggers» of the system—the two opposing potentials—and their roles in the system in the context of «key/driven». This allows us to gain an understanding of the direction of movement of the entire system (from the «driven» to the «key» potential), and thus predict the final outcome of this movement with 100% certainty.
Interpretation
Life is movement. Movement is determined by the difference in potential. Potentials, possessing the difference that gives life to a system, together form a single whole, which is well known as «opposites in struggle and unity».

«Both sides of the coin are struck in the same metal…»
«The world has a front and a back, a top inning and a bottom, a sea of truth and a web of lies!»
What does this shed light on?
The direction of movement of the entire system as a whole, as well as the result of this movement (essentially). The direction toward whichever of its poles the system moves is where it will ultimately end up.
