The Bagua and Dominoes




The first thing I notice about this is that any number beyond 6 has to have a partner
that it shares with.

1      2      3      4
                             5
9      6      8    

 7

In order to draw the Bagua with 5 at the centre denoted by an empty space you need
to swop 1 for 9... 3 for 8... 4 for 7... but 2 and 6 do not need to share the same way as
both appear between 1 and 6.

We can see they both have 4 1 2 across the top, 3 and 4 in the middle and 3 1 6
across the bottom. If they have to pair up then we can also there are different ways
to pair up left hand side has 1/6 paired and right hand side has 3/1 paired.

So even when you think you know something it can be different from the way you expect
it to be.

The actual Bagua would read as follows and gives no hint of these potential changes.
The point is not everything is as it seems. As with DNA we can see a sequence of
letters but it does not mean they are all on or off in the same way. Thinking begets
more questions but it stops you from accepting things too readily too.
