At all times, the path into hexagram 06 is that of 47 - Enforced Waiting, exhaustion. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 06 is forced to go through the characteristics of 47
At all times the path out of hexagram 06 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 22 - fascading, gloss-over. Thus the process of hexagram 06 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 22 to start.
Hexagram 06 finds it's roots in hexagram 58, Reflecting, with the emphasis on there being a degree of intense self-reflection.
As we progress towards the refined point at the top of the hexagram, so we pass through ever-improving states, the description of which is given by the order of contextual hexagrams. The final contextual state, prior to text and context becoming 'one', is described by the line 5 influence - hexagram 40, Relaxed structuring (tension release).
For hexagram 06, the contextual hexagrams sequence from the base line through to the top is:
At a finer level of analysis, the contextual hexagrams encapsulate the behaviour of a hexagram pair - where one is connected to the unchanging line and the other to the line when it changes.These pairs are shown below, with The layout format described here
