Entering "Unity" (p. 335) with the cybercosm, Venator is invited to see the quantum universe as far as he can. I have to summarize from p. 336.
Yang: Because the observations of two observers are equally real and because the future of each is the past of the other, tomorrow is as fixed as yesterday.
Yin: Because to observe is to determine for the past as well as for the future, all histories can happen.
Yang and Yin: Reality does not branch but is One.
In Hegelian philosophy, such a triad comprises thesis, antithesis and synthesis. In this triad, Yang and Yin are indeed antithetical but I cannot see that Yang and Yin either follows from or synthesizes them.

Kaor, Paul!
Like you, I don't believe Venator's "Yang" and "Yin" are real and true things.
