The Evolution of the Five Phases

The five phases first appeared in somewhere between 770 and 476 BC. There's a very sort of collectivist quality to the five phases. Like I said, they're all equals, is that in a way? But they interact with each other in different ways. In these complex webs of relationships. Which one can dominate the other? But only under specific conditions. Or be submissive to another depending on what the interaction is.
