I woke up this morning and a thought popped into my head that hexagrams aren’t made up of 6 lines. But instead of 6 sets of 4 possible two line groupings.

This of course isn’t a revelation it’s just that a hexagram chart that included all the changing lines would be unmanageable.

But tagging along with the above thought was the idea of knowing the relationship of the I Ching with DNA & RNA. Would it be possible to cast a hexagram using the same mathematics as a DNA sequence is assembled.

Doing some quick research I discovered that:
¨20% -Cytosine
¨30% Thymine
¨30% Adenine
¨20% Guanine

This looks like it holds promise. It looks like it could be a mid point between the equal probabilities of the coin method skewed probabilities of the yarrow stalks.

All I’d have to do is match up the proper molecules to its changing line.

Right now I’m at a road block because the first two links in Google point to two different ways of matching the molecules to the changing lines.

Right now I feel that the King Wen sequence is the Rosetta Stone. But I like the way Stanley Tomshinsky started with the line relationship.

Also the research into the relationship of the King Wen sequence to DNA bothers me. They divide the hexagram into two line pairs to get the molecules for that hexagram. For example the first hexagram is made up of three Cytosine molecules which is encoded as CCC.

But in reality it should be represented by the inner and outer trigrams and its code should be CCC-CCC. I don’t know if this makes sense based on the rules of a DNA strand.

But in my search I found this site (http://iching.egoplex.com/) which has an article on the Ken Wen sequence relationship to changing lines (http://iching.egoplex.com/king-wen-new-symmetry.html).

And this article (http://iching.egoplex.com/dna.html) which reminds me of the bee keeper’s daughter who discovered the relationship between the mathematical “flag manifold” formula she was working with to describe the movement of quantum particles. And the dance bees use to tell the hive how to find a new source of food. (http://ironghost.wordpress.com/2006/07/10/honey-from-the-6th-dimension/).

Clearly there’s some worth while stuff here, it’ll just take a decade or two to work through it.

With both the coin method and the yarrow method, you are 3 times as likely to receive a stable (unchanging) line as a moving (changing) line, so I think the percentages of amino acids in DNA as you've described...

¨20% -Cytosine
¨30% Thymine
¨30% Adenine
¨20% Guanine

...don't exactly fit with the four kinds of lines you can receive in an Yijing reading.

However, if you want to do a DNA reading, just assign a color to each amino acid... for example...

red: cytosine
yellow: thymine
blue: adenine
green: guanine

... and get 20 marbles...

4 red marbles: cytosine
6 yellow marbles: thymine
6 blue marbles: adenine
4 green marbles: guanine

and do your reading, picking one marble out of a bag at a time, then putting it back for the next one...

...this will give you the DNA odds... :)
