Chapter 6: The Empty and the Solid
Considered euphemism for strengths and weaknesses. But also contains an element of possibility.
Not many direct examples of the chapter title. Much about troop numbers not being everything -much depends on knowing enemy plans.
If the army is invisible to the enemy, even a well hidden spy cannot know what is empty or solid about it.
Have the enemy come to you; do not go to him.

Chapter 5: Circumstance
1. Divide men into units so nobody is in charge of more than a few men.
2. The meaning of regular versus irregular can change from one to the other as in a circle. Infinite possibilities. Like a river - flexible to form.
3. Use people in accord with their talents.
4. Have the enemy come to you, expending their energy, so “empty” - attack them from your solidity.

Chapter 4: Form
The forms the two armies take when attacking and defending themselves. The finest form is no form; invisible.
“What people in the world call winning is destroying the enemy’s army and killing his general. Our idea of great consists of hidden plans and secret movements that strike at the enemy’s plans…victory comes without bloodied weapons.” p149
The Way consists of being humane and just.
