I Ching
The Self-Referencing I Ching : using the I Ching to describe itself

The following material is drawn from analysis of the binary sequence of the hexagrams where the hexagrams are derived from recursion of yin/yang and so showing a property of the method - the hexagrams are all linked together and contribute to the expression of, the description of, each hexagram.

  • The skeletal form of hexagram 57 is described by analogy to the under-exaggerated properties of hexagram 05 where we have a generic focus on waiting for the 'right' moment, and 'networking' whilst waiting. The nature of wind is to cultivate, to influence and so a sense of time is involved; here change is elicited by subtle influence of the context and so an indirect focus when compared to the opposite, hexagram 51, thunder, where the change is sudden, immediate, 'in your face', NOW.
