[edit] The Self-Referencing I Ching : using the I Ching to describe itself

The following material is drawn from analysis of the binary sequence of the hexagrams where the hexagrams are derived from recursion of yin/yang and so showing a property of the method - the hexagrams are all linked together and contribute to the expression of, the description of, each hexagram.

• The skeletal form of hexagram 43 is described by analogy to the under-exaggerated properties of hexagram 44 where we have a generic focus on persuading, seducing. As such, the focus of 43 is on 'spreading the word', of seeding, distributing 'cuttings' etc. The opposite to 43 is 23 where the focus is more on pruning.
