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 59 is described by analogy to the under-exaggerated properties of hexagram 60 where we have a generic focus on limits, setting standards. This vague sense of establishing standards sets a ground for a focus in 59 on dispelling illusions, lifting the 'fog', making things 'clear' etc.vi:Phong Thủy Hoán
