Week 5: Opposites and Neighbors
Structural relationships among the trigrams, before any arrangement
22 March 2027
The one relationship among the eight trigrams that holds regardless of how they are laid out — line-inversion — and an open question about arrangement that week 6 answers directly.
Outline#
- line-inversion: flip every line, four resulting pairs
- why this is the trigram set’s one arrangement-independent relationship
- an open question carried into week 6: do inverse pairs end up placed opposite each other once an arrangement exists?
