primary hexagram

—

binary (bottom → top) ———

symbol –

relating hexagram

no changing lines → same as primary

binary (bottom → top) ———

changing lines —

note line numbers are counted from the bottom (1) to the top (6).

method

this uses a four-coin method that matches the odds of the classical yarrow-stalk oracle, driven by window.crypto.getRandomValues in the browser.

each line is from four independent “coins”
tails = 2, heads = 3, summed (8–11 are valid)
mapping:

6 → old yin (broken, changing to yang)
7 → young yang (solid, stays yang)
8 → young yin (broken, stays yin)
9 → old yang (solid, changing to yin)

primary and relating hexagrams are looked up via the King Wen sequence using a binary pattern (bottom → top, 1 = yang, 0 = yin). note the line numbers shown, then go to whatever I Ching translation you prefer.
