Map 440 I Ching Hexagrams Alerts T & A

These two hexagrams do not conform to the standard pattern of the hexagrams.

If you look at the other hexagrams they have complimentary opposites T becomes A and C becomes G and vice versa. For example the bottom left hand triangle is opposite the top right hand triangle. The bottom centre is opposite the top centre. The bottom right hand triangle is opposite the top left hand triangle. As they pass through the centre from bottom to top and top to bottom they become their complimentary opposites.

These rules do not apply to these two hexagrams if they did we would have the following hexagrams.Whichever way you read them you would only get two variations whereas if the top hats are swopped you would get four ways of looking at the hexagram.

So these two hexagrams are put to work with each tops which means with just these two instead of T and A swopping C and G have swopped hence I call them alerts.

1 2 3 4

               5

9 6 8 7

The numbers of Nine Star Ki match up together as shown above so although by swopping the tops we resolve the problem of matching tops and bottoms we now have the problem whereby the numbers are not complimentary to each other.

TCA Hex 62 8/3

AGT Hex 61 7/4

As you can see they do not match in numbers top to bottom.

TGA Hex 28 4/7

ACT Hex 27 3/8

Neither do these yet as :

TCA 8/3

ACT 3/8

TGA 4/7

AGT 7/4

Now we can see they match with their numbers.

Quite how when converting to amino acids, proteins and DNA this problem may present itself I can only guess. AGT and TCA together are both hydrophilic which does not conform. ACT and TGA together are both Neutral so can at least adapt.
