Just working on a pattern to be made into an embroidery of Christmas Trees this one denoting Hexagrams 11 AAA and 12 TTT both can be seen sitting at the top of the tree as the Grand Trines of Fire and Earth.
First branch down has 3 Hexagrams or DNA Codons to each side and they pair up by forming a ribbon from one side to the other pairing.
Second Branch also has three Hexagrams or DNA Codons on each side but they do not match up to each other but to the diagonally opposite side of the branches below forming a cross over pattern across the centre of the tree.
Third Branch is working with the branch two above in a diagonal pattern as above forming a cross over pattern.
Fourth branch has six Hexagrams or Codons to each side two of them match up to another pairing on the opposite side of the tree but the other four pair up with another hexagram sitting next to them on the lower fourth branch.
The two gifts or cubes show AAA-TTT and AAC-TTG obviously you cannot see the rears but we know they are opposites so can presume them. All of the codons or hexagrams above can be made by moving these cubes around into position to be read. This tree shows horizontals and diagonals.
This tree denotes Hexagrams 1 GGG and Hex 2 CCC and can be seen sitting at the top of tree as the Grand Trines of Water and Air.
The first branch has three hexagrams or codons on each side of the tree but only one matches to the opposite branch and the other two pair up with each other on the same side.
The second branch has three codons or hexagrams to each side of the tree but they do not match up to each other but to the branch below in a vertical pattern.
The third branch is also matching up to the second branch in a vertical line on the same side.
The fourth branch has six codons or Hexagrams on each side and they all match up to a Hexagram/codon on the opposite side forming a ribbon across horizontally.
The two gifts or cubes show GGG - CCC and GGA - CCT you cannot see the rear of the cube but they are opposites so we can presume them. The cubes can be turned to make all the codons/hexagrams shown here. So this tree shows horizontals and verticals.
The rods through the red box at the base run all the way up to the top of the tree and the lines on the edges of the branches show colours Blue - C Yellow - G Green - Orange G so creating a codon is easy top branch in the CG tree on the left can read CGC, GCC, CCG by reading the blue and yellow lines.
Between these two trees all 64 codons or hexagrams can be read the whole I Ching is here. It would be preferable if both trees were stuck together with four trines on the top of the tree and the others on the four rows of branches below back and front. A real tree of life. Lines from both sides below. X
