>Figure 18: The Taiji-DDN exhibits a surprising similarity to the ancient Chinese philosophy of Taiji. Records of Taiji can be traced back to the I Ching (Book of Changes) from the late 9th century BC, often described by the quote on the left (a) that explains the universe’s generation and transformation. This description coincidentally also summarizes the generation process and the transformations in the generative space of Taiji-DDN. Moreover, the diagram (b) from the book Tom (2013) bears a closely resemblance to the tree structure of DDN’s latent fig. 1b. Therefore, we have named the DDN with K = 2 as Taiji-DDN.

Very nitpicky comment, but I personally find such things to make for a bad impression. To be more specific, branching structures are a fairly universal idea, so the choice of relating it ancient proverbs instead of something much mundane raises an eyebrow.
