Trichotomous Form

Due to the presence of BOTH/AND states in this hexagram's trichotomous form, this hexagram can share context with hexagrams 63, 64, 17, 18, 21, 48, and 21.

Transformations

At all times, the path into hexagram 47 is that of 06 - compromising. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 47 is forced to go through the characteristics of 06

At all times the path out of hexagram 47 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 36 - uncompromising. Thus the process of hexagram 47 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 36 to start.

Influences

Hexagram 47 finds it's roots in hexagram 10, Treading, with the emphasis on treading developing into enforced waiting.

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 64, mis-sequencing, 'incorrect' ordering

For hexagram 47, the contextual hexagrams sequence from the base line through to the top is:

• line 1 - hexagram 10, treading
• line 2 - hexagram 12, neutralizing
• line 3 - hexagram 44, persuading, seducing
• line 4 - hexagram 59, dispersing, dispelling
• line 5 - hexagram 64, mis-sequencing
• line 6 - hexagram 47, enforced waiting

Line Influences

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
