Hexagram Meaning
The Oracle Speaks
Water flows over earth — it finds its way into every crevice, bonding with the terrain. Holding together brings good fortune. Seek the oracle again to confirm that you have the constancy to lead. Latecomers meet misfortune. The network is only as strong as its nodes' commitment to the protocol.
The Six Lines — Changing Line Oracles
When a line is “changing” (old yin or old yang), its oracle activates. These texts reveal the specific mutation occurring at that position in the hexagram.
Line 1 (Yin — broken) — Bottom
Hold together with sincerity. No blame. Simple truth fills the bowl to overflowing. Good fortune from outside arrives. Authentic connections attract resources.
Line 2 (Yin — broken)
Hold together inwardly. Perseverance brings good fortune. The inner bond strengthens the outer network.
Line 3 (Yin — broken)
You hold together with the wrong people. Misguided alliances are worse than isolation. Check your dependencies.
Line 4 (Yin — broken)
Hold together with the leader outwardly. Perseverance brings good fortune. Visible commitment to the architecture.
Line 5 (Yang — solid)
Manifestation of holding together. The king drives game from three sides only. Those who flee are free. Those who stay, stay by choice. The best networks are voluntary.
Line 6 (Yin — broken) — Top
One holds together with those at the head. No head for holding together. Misfortune. A network without leadership fragments.
