Trichotomous Form

Due to the presence of BOTH/AND states in this hexagram's trichotomous form, this hexagram can share context with hexagrams 06, 25, and 57.

Transformations

At all times, the path into hexagram 37 is that of 63 - Sequencing, 'correct' order. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 37 is forced to go through the characteristics of 63

At all times the path out of hexagram 37 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 64 - mis-sequencing, out of order. Thus the process of hexagram 37 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 64 to start.

Influences

Hexagram 37 finds it's roots in hexagram 39, Obstructions, with the emphasis on obstructions developing into rigid structuring.

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 36, uncompromising.

For hexagram 37, the contextual hexagrams sequence from the base line through to the top is:

• line 1 - hexagram 39, Obstructing, Bypassing
• line 2 - hexagram 05, Waiting, Serving
• line 3 - hexagram 03, Difficult Beginnings
• line 4 - hexagram 49, Unmasking
• line 5 - hexagram 36, Uncompromising
• line 6 - hexagram 37, Rigid structuring (tension release)

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
