Measure of change
not an answer at any cost
I Ching visual hall
I Ching shows the rhythm of change
Here the spectacle matters less than an auditable sequence: question, six lines bottom to top, primary hexagram, moving lines, resulting hexagram, and an explicitly named reading school.
Six lines
the situation rises from below
Hexagram
the shape of the current moment
Echo
return after a new fact
I Ching cabinet
I Ching is shaped as a change cabinet
I Ching stays a change cabinet: lines, hexagrams, timing, measure, and action. It does not replace Tarot, Moon, or psychological diagnosis.

How to read six lines
Lines are built from bottom to top. The story begins not at the top, but below: foundation, impulse, transition, pressure, maturity, and resulting position.

From a short change to a line archive
I Ching sells not a future promise, but measure: when to wait, move, and where the line is already changing.

method core
Six lines are the ladder of the situation
The primary hexagram shows the current form of the question.
Moving lines show the exact seams of transformation.
The resulting hexagram shows a vector, not a verdict.
Casting methods
Three Coins · later traditional method
Six throws of three coins, bottom to top. Coin faces cause the 6/7/8/9 values; digital mode must preserve them as a reproducible trace.
49 Stalks · Zhu Xi tradition
A slow method with three changes per line. Digital V2 faithfully reproduces the traditional 1:5:7:3 probability profile and does not pretend the browser physically divided real stalks.
My physical cast
OmenHall generates nothing: the seeker enters six lines already obtained physically; extended V2 can also validate all 18 coin faces or three yarrow change totals for each line.

64 forms of change
A hexagram is not a fate label, but the shape of a moment. It shows where a situation has ripened, where to wait, and where action needs measure.
