Evidence and provenance

Sources and editorial status

This public beta keeps structure, source text, and modern interpretation separate. A calculated hexagram never depends on an AI model. The free summaries in this version are original editorial copy written for reflective use; they are not presented as quotations from a classic.

Structural data

The King Wen sequence and binary patterns were checked against the MIT-licensed strobus/i-ching dataset, pinned to commit 631a04b28ab7cc41f94265178bb99726831f2591. Hexagram symbols follow the official Unicode Yijing block. Attribution and license details are retained in the project's third-party notice.

Classical text plan

No modern commercial translation is copied into this product. The editorial corpus is being expanded from verified public-domain source passages, including the 1882 James Legge edition, with separately authored contemporary commentary. Edition, page, license, editor, and review status are recorded separately from generated explanations.

Review status

The casting engine is mechanically testable. AI never chooses or changes a hexagram. Paid reports may use an AI model only to organize the relevant editorial packet around the user's question. The interpretation corpus remains beta material and is not presented as a human master's consultation or as a guaranteed prediction.
