What does all those Hexagram threads mean?

In the friends area, wanderer made a fine suggestion.

I just added the 32 threads and hope they fill each new week with the insights of us all.

Yours,

Houston, we have a problem. You in fact need to PAIR every hexagram with each of the other 63 in that these will ALL show relationships. thats 64 (self + 63 others) x 64 = 4096/2 = 2048 threads ....

(you can have a hexagram paired with itself, the gerund nature allows for it, and so the encoding of cooperation and competition in each, but then that doubles things again and so back to 4096!)
