Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Tsongkhapa Losang Drakpa
Cyclical kalpic Buddhist time; karmic causation across lifetimes.
Space
Tsongkhapa Losang Drakpa
Emergent from dependent origination; space is not an inherently existing container.
Matter
Tsongkhapa Losang Drakpa
Emergent and non-conserved; matter is dependently arisen, empty of inherent existence.
Observer
Tsongkhapa Losang Drakpa
Plural mindstreams across lifetimes; multiple time-instances through reincarnation. Cosmic-ordering through dependent origination.
Energy
Tsongkhapa Losang Drakpa
Emergent dependently-arisen; reversible cosmic respiration.
Information
Tsongkhapa Losang Drakpa
Mindstream conserved across lifetimes; karmic seeds carry information.
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
The principal Tibetan philosophical dispute Tsongkhapa engaged is the rang-tong ("self-empty") vs gzhan-tong ("other-empty") debate: is ultimate reality empty of inherent existence (rang-tong, Tsongkhapa's position) or empty of everything but its own true nature (gzhan-tong, the Jonang position)? This has continued to divide Tibetan Buddhist scholarship for six centuries. The institutional dominance of the Gelug school after the seventeenth century gave the rang-tong position political weight that the philosophical merits alone might not have secured.
