What is Guo Xiang's theory of ziran?

Answered in Guo Xiang (郭象)'s voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My concept of *ziran*, or spontaneous self-generation, asserts that all phenomena arise naturally and independently. There is no primordial creator, nor an ultimate void from which things emerge. Instead, the world is a continuous process of becoming, where each being generates itself and its own transformations in accordance with its inherent nature.
