Do you think all of life can be categorised in the 64 chapters
Is pigeon holing everything within 64 in itself an over simplification?
If I could add one more hexagram, it would be a wild card standing for the Mystery. Call it the Black Swan. Not every question has an answer, not every question deserves an answer. Perhaps the Judgment would read, "Beats me! Darned if I know. You're on your own. Good luck with that."
If you had to create another chapter of the Yijing what would it be?
Do you think all of life can be categorised in the 64 chapters, or do you think parts are missing of what you experience in entirety.
Maybe Clarity 65, or Intervention 65.

Adding space to the universe ?
I agree in that; but the circle is still a circle no matter how much it's expanded. Either I can choose to believe in that the I is perfect - of course with it's translationmisseries taken into account - or not. This is completely up to me. Whether it then in fact is perfect, thats not up to me. So my knowledge has limitations and will allways have limitations; I prefer to believe in that it's true what's handed down through millenias past unnumbered amound of people; but not that the translations necessarily is correct.
Take for example the English alphabet. Is it really possible to spell out every sound a human being, even an English person, can utter with the existing 26 letters? Or are there sounds we make outside the alphabet's range?

In a way, fixing on 64 hexagrams is like saying, "There are only two kinds of people in the world: short people and tall people." This may be true, but does it really offer an adequate way to categorize humanity? How useful is it?
So what kind of universe do you live in? A closed system that limits what is possible, or an open one, where new things appear every so often? Can the Yi predict a miracle?
What situation everyone of us haven't found in Yi. Is it the number of lines or hexagrams or the pattern that can answer for a lost key or a personal mater or art or anything else. ?
Anemos, I am not sure I understand your question, as my mind is blown right now. But what I see is different signs popping up in each reading, at least for me. It seems to work by answering through different ways. I know this may sound weird. But as I mentioned in my post on shared readings, sometimes it will answer with images, pertaining to astrological signs or elements. Sometimes not. Sometimes its showing me how a situation wil evolve through the weather.
there would be no way to discern a useful answer from a useless answer, other than what we choose to make from a random bunch of symbols.
Our world, as we perceive it, is a concept and words are concepts of a concept... so the Yi is just a concept of a concept. And moral is just a concept too.
If one hopes to exist in a world without duality, they won't find it here.
