Due to the presence of BOTH/AND states in this hexagram's trichotomous form, this hexagram can share context with hexagram 07.
__ __ __ __ __ _ __ __ _ __ T10
At all times, the path into hexagram 24 is that of 27 - hungering. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 24 is forced to go through the characteristics of 27
At all times the path out of hexagram 24 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 28 - exceeding. Thus the process of hexagram 24 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 28 to start.
Hexagram 24 finds it's roots in hexagram 23, Pruning, with the emphasis on pruning leading to the return to a path.
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 42, augmenting (go up a level).
For hexagram 24, 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
