Due to the lack of BOTH/AND states in this hexagram's trichotomous form (except the 'Tao' position - base line), this hexagram cannot share context with any other hexagram without modification.

At all times, the path into hexagram 19 is that of 41 - Concentrating - both literally and metaphorically. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 19 is forced to go through the characteristics of 41
At all times the path out of hexagram 19 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 31 - restrained joining. Thus the process of hexagram 19 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 31 to start.
Hexagram 19 finds it's roots in hexagram 04, Masking, with the emphasis on socialization enabling approach and defering.
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 61, yielding.
For hexagram 19, 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
