Due to the presence of BOTH/AND states in this hexagram's trichotomous form, this hexagram can share context with hexagram 35, 39, and 52.

At all times, the path into hexagram 45 is that of 12 - neutralising, firming. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 45 is forced to go through the characteristics of 12
At all times the path out of hexagram 45 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 11 - balancing, harmonising. Thus the process of hexagram 45 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 11 to start.
Hexagram 45 finds it's roots in hexagram 25, non-involving, with the emphasis on non-involving developing into gathering.
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 35, progressing.
For hexagram 45, 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
