I Ching Archive and Echo
The I Ching archive must remember not just a hexagram number, but the type of change: which line moved, which trigram shift repeats, which step was chosen.
How to return
Echo does not ask “did it come true.” It asks: what changed, what did you do, where was the sign useful.
