Due to the presence of BOTH/AND states in this hexagram's trichotomous form, this hexagram can share context with hexagram 05, 26, and 38.
__ _ __ __ _ __ _______ __ _ __ T23
At all times, the path into hexagram 58 is that of 10 - treading. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 58 is forced to go through the characteristics of 10
At all times the path out of hexagram 58 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 15 - modesty, levelling. Thus the process of hexagram 58 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 15 to start.
Hexagram 58 finds it's roots in hexagram 06, Compromising, with the emphasis on compromising developing into self-reflection and intensity.
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 38, opposing, mirroring.
For hexagram 58, 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
