Hexagram structure and the King Wen order

Binary line bits and King Wen numbers are two views of the same fixed cast.

Original draft for local preview. Human editorial review is still pending; this article is not published in production.

The engine stores bottom-up yin/yang bits, moving line indexes, and the King Wen number for both the base and changed figures.

The number is a lookup key into a fixed table. It is not a ranking of luck or a forecast score.

Any later AI text must cite these fixed fields. It cannot invent a different hexagram after payment.

A six-line bit pattern and a King Wen number are different kinds of identifier. The bottom three lines form the lower trigram and the top three form the upper trigram. The lookup table uses that pair to find a conventional name and number. Reading the six bits as a binary integer does not produce the King Wen order, and changing the display direction must not change the lookup result.

For a practical check, six yang lines identify Qian, number 1, while six yin lines identify Kun, number 2. The numbers label entries; they do not rank how good a result is. Compare the base structure and changed structure using their saved IDs and names. This project's modern reflection prompts are original writing. They are not quotations from a classical line text, and they do not claim to replace the range of historical commentaries.
