The Tao Te Ching describes how the Tao works, what it does, and what it's
like, but it never says what it is. My guess is that the Tao is simply the
Law of Equivalence, the math Nature (energy/matter) abides by as it
manifests itself. Nature doesn't have a will, but it does have law, the
Tao...  Ape;)
