subject to conditions

Again to utilise loop-language, we either owe the world or the world owes us. Fundamentally we appear to have a choice. Subjectively we are free to choose. Or not to choose. Or even choose another choice. The Dao as skillful means draws our attention away from the loop. And as we all know the loop is a closed circuit whereas the Dao is basically and utterly open.
