By accident came across an interesting explanation of trigrams in the King Wen sequence. This may have been mentioned before ?
www.cs.utk.edu/~mclennan/BA . Click on "Liber de Octo Mutationibus".

Hi Bob,

The article talks about the Fu Xi / Earlier Heaven Bagua.

Hi Bob,

Hi Bob and Luis,

Why do all these folks assume the Earlier Heaven Bagua are the explanation of the King Wen Sequence??!

There are many lovely, simple line to trigram to Earlier Heaven progressions---but those are all Shang Era stuff made obsolete by King Wen if you are OK with the innovation...

And of course, for the Chou Yi, you have to lay out the hexagrams into 2 halves, first half of 30 and the second half of another 30 and a final four whose patterns are clear just by looking at them.

Blast!, my deliberate mistake was quickly spotted. I wonder if anyone else was suitably perplexed? I found the article useful at one level but struggled to find a physical system which encapsulates all the dynamics. The nearest was thinking of a plumbob on a pendulum?

Keep swinging, Bob
