The Meaning Behind AOTU

凹图 (āo tú) and 凹凸 (āo tū) Concave and convex. Highs and lows. Innovation rises and falls; the balance of opposites gives it form. The frame made whole by the piece missing.

This philosophy built BrainFrame—an open platform where encapsulated models plug in, creating intelligence with purpose.
