View Full Version : Unconditional/Conditional hexagrams of the IC

Given the binary sequence of the I Ching we find that the 32 pairs that make up the sequence are made up of elements that reflect the conditional/unconditional 'nature' of the cell made up of five lines that the pair 'emerges' from in the recursion of yin/yang.

(and so from level of 2^5 where we have 00000, comes TWO expressions at 2^6: 000000 and 000001)

For example, in the binary ordering we have the first two hexagrams from the yin end as 02, 23

This PAIR reflects 02 as being unconditional in its expression, whereas 23 is conditional (a particular faith preference one is devoted-to rather than the unconditional devotion of 02)

To extract a dimension covering the full spectrum of the unconditional/conditional across the IC with 32 unconditional/32 conditional rather than the pairs we can simply re-order the binary sequence into an unconditional/conditional ordering of hexagrams thus:

Unconditional bias (strong to weak)
02, 08, 16, 45, 15, 39, 62, 31
07, 29, 40, 47, 46, 48, 32, 28
24, 03, 51, 17, 36, 63, 55, 49
19, 60, 54, 58, 11, 05, 34, 43

Conditional bias (weak to strong)
23, 20, 35, 12, 52, 53, 56, 33
04, 59, 64, 06, 18, 57, 50, 44
27, 42, 21, 25, 22, 37, 30, 30
41, 61, 38, 10, 26, 09, 14, 01
