[edit] 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 50 is described by analogy to the under-exaggerated properties of hexagram 34 where we have a generic focus on invigoration. This sets the basic focus on taking the raw and cooking it to make it consumable; and so a sense of transformation.
