Earth Man Heaven - Bigram I Ching
Hello all
I am an I ching user since 45 years. I have looked at may different orderings of the hexagrams, and always expected to find the continuing story, but any try at ordering them by semantics failed when using rows and columns. There was no order.
Today I come from a really different angle, the genetic code. With its four letters and 64 words. I discovered that only one order works to organize and serialize the RNA codons with the smallest, least difference inbetween adjacent codons. The same mathematical rules applied to the i ching (using bigrams instead of trigrams) shows a fascinating order of the hexagram sequences. They tell three stories. Earth - Man - Heaven.
The casting is like any other one, but under the hood we have mathematical order.
Casting a hexagram and clicking it shows a flip and a story button.
The Flip is showing the complement hexagram, the Story explains.
On the bottom is a help section where i show the mathematics in more detail.
I have written the mathematical proof that the 64 codon RNA code and by extension the 64 hexagram I Ching have to use ONE specific order to reveal a semantic meaningful progression without conflicts.
After ordering the I ching like the RNA, the hexagrams became ordered sequences. The flip all lines is really the opposite situation for all 64.
The error with the known i ching orders was not the identification of the trigram split, but the mapping of rows and columns with trigram labels.
Earth Man Heaven is a really really old concept, way before the grid orders, but was the hint for the correct order. Three bigrams is how they have to be read to make sense from one hexagram to the next.
The yin/yang revealed is 32 + 32, not 1-64.
The Bigram I Ching is an offline html page that anyone can use at home even without internet. I am hosting it so free download is possible. I will never charge for it.
It's a giveaway before I leave the planet :-)
I hope this is a useful addition to all other orderings we know about the I ching hexagrams.
thanks for the patience to read this dense introduction.
I welcome discussion and additions.
