When we analyse the pairs of hexagrams derived from the binary sequence, the top YIN line (line position 6)
reflects a hexagram with unconditional expression and as such is the 'ground' from which the corresponding YANG
top line hexagram has emerged (IOW, when focusingon 6 lines, the pair of hexagrams have emerged from the previous
5 lines and they from the previous 4 etc. As such each level of recursion is (a) the EXPRESSION (yin top line vs
yang top line) of the previous level and (b) the SEED for the next level.)
As such, given the 'originating' nature of YIN as a 'potential' so identification of the YIN nature is indicative
of what the YANG is representing but in a conditional, exaggerated, particular, more competitive, format.
For example, hexagram 02 covers all potentials and as such reflects unconditional devotion. 02 and 23 are a PAIR
in the binary ordering and hexagram 23 reflects these 02 qualities now exaggerated, expressed in a particular,
conditional, perspective.
This unconditional/conditional perspective derives from the interpretation of 02 as 'pure potential' and all of
the other hexagrams being actualisations. With recursion being what it is, so the 02 (000000 - unconditional) -
01 (111111 - conditional) pattern at the level of the general is repeated locally, across the elements of each
of the 32 pairs.
The STATE being represented by the hexagram SYMBOLS is not of the layers of yin/yang but the FINAL layer; each
level of differentiation, the top line and its link with all below it, is in fact a finer distinction of the ONE
space; the lines as such are PARTS of the whole and we can extract all of them using the XOR operator as covered
before. (Imagine using colours to map out the qualities of hexagrams - all we would see would be a single hue representing
that state rather than six lines. This is disadvantageous in that we cannot use the precision of the lines to extract
details, but is also advantageous in that it shows the 'wholeness' of the six-line symbol)
Thus to establish the general meaning of the yang-top hexagrams, look to the associated yin-top. To extract details,
use the XOR operator (as covered in the material on line positions).
The pairings of yin/yang top hexagrams, and so the binary sequence, are (in order of unconditional/conditional):
