The graphic depicted here shows the so-called FuXi arrangement overlaid on a tableau of concentric squares, each discretely colored. This presentation is remarkable in that it explicitly encodes the yarrow oracle probabilities; i.e. each ring comprises a specific proportion of the...

A proposed re-interpretation of the milfoil (Yarrow) method I just finished something that I had for long in my task list. I'm sure that, although this ideas have been around, privately, for some 50 or 60 years and in journal publication since the early 70's, for some reason, it hasn't gained...

So here's the dilemma- There is a disparity between the stalk and coin methods of accessing the Yijing: The probability of getting a certain ratio of fixed and changing yin and yang lines is different in the two methods. To quote my teacher Jim Cleaver in his manual for his Yijing course...

I came across an interesting section in a wikipedia article a few weeks ago about probabilistic mathematics and the I ching. A I Ching practitioners/mathematicians have discovered a way to preserve the probabilities of the yarrow-stalk method through the use of cards. (Read about Probabilistic...

On my own Dutch forum a simple guy claims that the probabilities to obtain a moving line with the yarrow stalk or the coin method are equal. Hacker clearly gives the probabilities in chapter 9 of his I Ching Handbook (less change for a moving line with the yarrow stalks), but this stubborn Dutch...
