I’m not sure this exactly counts as a secular summary, but I think I can take a swing at imparting some relevant context
I don’t think the summary is ‘secular’ in the sense of ‘not pulling on any explanation from spiritual traditions’, but I do think the summary works as something that might clarify things for ‘people who don’t know what the Eternal Tao is’, because it offers an explanation of some relevant dimensions behind the idea, and that was my goal.
this doesn’t feel ‘secular’ tbh
