Refactoring as Jings

i was looking at how to see what refactorings are and to classify them way back when they were kind of new in 1996 and i started thinking of how it is essential to them that there is previous code and then resulting code just as it is operations or methods on code themselves, i was kind of surprised to see that refactoring tools took a long time to surface as i remember that there were already similar tools of code that worked on code available for the BASIC language.

So i began to see refactorings as sets of changes or in a way jings - like in tao te jing each sign could be something that changes to another sign.
