EA-MANDALA-05 was a partial Classical Chinese–English edition of the Mandala operator system.
The captured metadata places the operators within Daoist, Confucian, and Buddhist textual environments and specifies literary Chinese rather than modern Mandarin. Named references include the Daodejing, Yijing Hexagram 41, and Zhuangzi.
The edition reportedly contained Johannes Sigil’s preface, a complete Part I, and a BRIDE section with archetypal and kernel layers. Transformation was framed as return to origin and bodily form. The planned full work would have expanded to all eight operators and a broader Daoist, Yijing, and Buddhist apparatus.
No facing text survives in this record. The DataCite body preserves the registered description and relations but cannot demonstrate the Chinese text’s historical register, syntax, source handling, typography, or philosophical adequacy.
