The paper presents the introductory discussion on the concept of neutralism in neutrosophy in a new perspective: metabolism, as represented by the two opposing forces—the growing force and the anti-growing force. The discussion is based on the following issues: Mao Zedong’s dialectics, I-ching and a hypothesis on unified field theory. Metabolism is another crucial issue in neutrosophy, that may probably refresh the definition, logical structure and the ontology of <Neut-A> presented by Florentin Smarandache. This is shown in the discussion on the representation of metabolism, where the paper suggests a conjunction point between neutrosophy and machine learning including neural learning.
