Knowledge 01Knowledge Institute
What is known, what is emerging, what is ours
PURTRUE separates evidence, tradition and its own models — permanently and visibly. A framework that blurs those lines cannot be trusted with a life.
01Pillars
Four bodies of knowledge
01
Evidence
证据
What research supports, how strongly, and where it stops. Strength of evidence is stated before conclusions are drawn.
02
Traditional Wisdom
传统智慧
Long-standing practices across cultures, presented as tradition and lived experience rather than as proven mechanism.
03
PURTRUE Models
璞真模型
Original frameworks — the seven domains, the five-step cycle, the five life states — offered as structure, not as fact.
04
Life Library
生命图书馆
Readable, practical writing on the parts of life people actually manage: sleep, breathing, movement, stress, recovery, relationships, lifestyle and meaning.
02Classification
Every claim carries its label
Each article in the institute is published with one of four classifications. The label is part of the content, not a footnote.
- Established Evidence
- Consistently supported by a substantial body of research.
- Emerging Evidence
- Promising but incomplete; treat conclusions as provisional.
- Traditional Wisdom
- Long-standing cultural practice, presented as tradition.
- PURTRUE Original Model
- A PURTRUE framework offered as structure, not as proven fact.
