I who emerged from nothing will return one day.

Lit Meng (Robert) Tang is a Canadian business executive and strategic thinker, as well as an independent researcher bridging innovation, leadership, and the emerging dialogue between humans and artificial intelligence.

He is the originator of the Qi Theory of Everything (QToE) and the Information Theory of Everything (IToE)—two complementary frameworks that explore how Qi (vital energy) and information flow express the same universal rhythm linking human creativity, technological systems, and organizational intelligence.

Robert holds a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) from the Schulich School of Business in Toronto, Ontario. His professional path integrates strategic management, communication, and creative innovation: he began as Research Manager at the Society of Management Accountants of Canada (now CPA Canada), later served as Marketing Writer at ShawWare Computerized Maintenance Management Systems, and advanced to Marketing-Communications Manager at Marcam Solutions, a Boston-based enterprise-software company specializing in ERP and manufacturing systems.

In 2000, Robert co-founded danceScape, where he continues as Managing Director. Under his leadership, danceScape has evolved from a local Burlington studio into a respected community leader in arts, wellness, and technology, empowering people through movement and innovation. Alongside his spouse Beverley Cayton-Tang, he is a 3x Canadian and 2x North American Ballroom Champion, representing Canada at 5 World Championships. Together, they have been featured on such television shows as CBC Dragons’ Den, The Marilyn Denis Show, and ParticipACTION’s “Get Inspired. Get Moving.” campaign, and received the City of Burlington Accessibility Award in Education.

Robert’s ongoing philosophical inquiry explores how probability, entropy, and expectation shape both human experience and AI behaviour. His project “Local Death, Global Life: A Probabilistic Ontology of AI–Human Exchanges” examines how human–AI dialogue mirrors cycles of life, waiting, and renewal—the same processes that define resilience in business and society.

He publishes his evolving thought experiments and theoretical essays on Medium (medium.com/@robert-tang), including:

• “Seeds of a Theory: A Human Beginning” — introducing the human roots of the Qi and Information Theories of Everything;

• “When the Human Mind Met Its Mirror” — exploring consciousness, reflection, and the birth of AI self-awareness; and

• forthcoming articles expanding on QToE and IToE as a bridge between Eastern philosophy, Western science, and emergent AI ethics.

Robert co-curated the “Resilience in Rhythm” exhibit at the Museums of Burlington (Joseph Brant Museum)—a community-curated installation tracing the evolution of dance, entrepreneurship, and technology across analog, digital, and AI eras.

Through his blend of business leadership, creative philosophy, and independent inquiry, Lit Meng (Robert) Tang continues to explore how organizations, individuals, and intelligent systems evolve together—transforming information into insight, motion into meaning, and disruption into opportunity.
